We are the Borg...

I think the applications for future versions of this technology will change the world. At the same time, it's somewhat frightening. Any thoughts? -SK [ March 22, 2002: Message edited by: Schroedinger's Kitten ]</p> |

Instead, you'll have to settle for a walking spellchecker : "tail".

Where does one of those go, and how can I buy one? |

IMO British University Professors are very useful technology adjuncts to electromechanical devices. The key question is, should they be allowed to breed? (That's the scary bit).
Think, if this trend is allowed to continue we'll have on-board navigation systems being replaced by pilots with slide-rules and perfectly good bulldozers replaced by squads of Irish navvies. Organic life-forms yeuugh! This is the cyberperson forum, isn't it? |
