The Geek Code used to have a line about "I'll be the first person in line to get a T3 installed directly into my brain."
My actual position is "I'll be waiting for the development of an effective firewall and a few hardware revisions before getting the direct brain interface, thanks."
On the other hand, I'm not blind. That could change my opinion pretty quickly, I think.

Here on Earth they'll wonder
As I piece by piece replace myself
And the steel and circuits will make me whole
But I'll still feel so alone
Until Laura calls me home
I'll see her standing by the monorail
She'll look the same except for bionic eyes
She lost the real ones in the robot wars
I'll say I'm sorry, she'll say it's not your fault
Or is it?
And she'll eye me suspiciously
Hearing the whir of the servos inside
She will scream and try to run
But there's nowhere she can hide
When a crazy cyborg wants to make you his robot bride
Well it's gonna be the future soon
And I won't always be this way
When the things that make me weak and strange get
engineered away
It's gonna be the future soon
I've never seen it quite so clear
And when my heart is breaking I can close my eyes and
it's already here
My actual position is "I'll be waiting for the development of an effective firewall and a few hardware revisions before getting the direct brain interface, thanks."
On the other hand, I'm not blind. That could change my opinion pretty quickly, I think.
