1. Sounds more like the Borg....
Edited on Wed Jul-09-03 11:07 AM by markbark
Quoth the story:
People may download their consciousnesses into computers or other bodies even on the other side of the solar system, or participate in a giant "hive mind", a network of intelligences connected through ultra-fast communications networks. "With knowledge no longer encapsulated in individuals, the distinction between individuals and the entirety of humanity would blur. We would perhaps become more of a hive mind - an enormous, single, intelligent entity."


Thanks, but i'll pass :scared:

2. Freaky
We are the Borg. We are the beginning and the end. We bring order to chaos. We will integrate your uniqueness into our collective. Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated.
