Resistance is futile
Of all the races depicted in #startrek it is hilarious (and kind of scary) that, most probably, we will become the cyborg hive organism first.
With neural-computer interfaces coming much sooner than anyone expected, the level of connectivity and communication that we will be able to have, will go from individual-individual, all the way to everyone-connected-to-every-one at thoughts and feelings level.
As we speak, we are training for that.
All those trolls, haters and the rest of ominous characters in tweeter are practicing the immediate connection, throwing whatever comes to their minds.
They think they are safe spreading all that hate. They couldn’t be more wrong.
Also the regular person posting and commenting is training. They are putting themselves out there. Even if it is a curated version of themselves, they are having so much more exposure than anyone did 20 years ago.
So, we are preparing ourselves to the über-connection.
Some will love it, some will hate it. But it’s coming. Resistance will be futile.
