We have reached the maximum output of our physical bodies, and yet our minds have so much more to learn by the time we physically deteriorate, if we were to allow our brains to play while our bodies slept and rested, we could preserve ourselves longer without the daily stress of gravitational pulls to and from. The mind could visualize its existence, like a very visual dream, conscious, yet unconscious.
Who knows, maybe the union of the two could bring peace to the population of the future? Maybe not.
While it looks like a promising idea, I fear that personal and mercantile interests will drive away creativity and freedom of thought.
On the other hand, maybe I'm being paranoid over a hypothetical subjet. Still, I don't feel that we, as the human race, are ready yet to plug any random thing in our heads. It just doesn't seem right, as with other social problems we are currently facing.
On the third hand, I'll be the first in line to get implants!

I doubt we'll see these technologies in our lifetime.
But after whatever cataclysmic destruction that befalls us, erases our existence into thin air, from the ruins left behind, the dusty computers, the near-broken cars, a newer, better world will be formed.
And maybe one day, through a similar freak gene pool randomly assigned to other genes, through a similar reproductive raffle, our like chemicals that define "you" will come to sight once more to discover the world we once dreamed of, through alien eyes, taking for granted the same world we used to long for so dearly.
The future is around us, our technology was that of mythical stories in the past, we live in the dreams of cave men.
A Perfect virtual reality, just like a movie. You meet someone, you are soul mates, you have a big fight and you break up where you end up boozing yourself to death and eventually everything works out and there is a happy ending.
Now we talking abotu this, wasn"t there an episode in Ghost in the shell where people escaped life just to watch a movie for eternity and actually feel they are a part of it..instead of the shitty reality that is life.
That is what i want.
