Ain't technology grand

Follow the timeline:

1. Build internet.
2. Grant access to information, services, and people on and through internet.
3. Make internet access through a device in your home socially acceptable.
4. Make internet access through a device you carry around with you socially acceptable.*
5. Make internet access through a device you wear socially acceptable.
6. Make internet access through a device implanted in you socially acceptable.
7. Enjoy hive-mind.

*You are here.

At great risk of being considered a Luddite, the following are issues my generation and the next few will have to deal with in the next 50-150 years if technology is allowed to continue along it's current path.

Human augmentation, networked consciousness, ubiquity of robotic services and labor, artificial intelligence, designer genetics (human and non-human), space war, global energy/environmental/population readjustments, rampant abuse of advanced systems and technologies of control by governments and individuals.
