Is that not the point of the Matrix and like movies? *confused* I don't know about you guys, but I'd hate being part computer. Instead of retroviruses (like the ones that cause the common cold, the flu, and AIDS), would we get computer viruses?
Yes, I agree with you, I would hate being part machine but never-the-less, we are being programmed to think that this would be a much better existance with every generation (some, think this would be great) as cutting edge technology grows by leaps and bounds.
The lure of "being all you can be" will be very strong not to mention the whole living forever aspect.

From what I gather, it's a depiction of bliss and ignorance. Some thoughts that the picture brings are..... I think a new social order of accepting destructive and dangerous practises as good is in it's infancy. The love of money...(a hollow idol) before the love of fellow man is a plague that is increasing dramatically within our society.
Speaking of viruses and glitches....
Did you ever wonder if maybe something similar to this happened before say, in pre-flood days? It's said that there's nothing new under the sun. Maybe this is why only a handful of people (Noah and his family members) lived and the others perished. Humans have a knack for "accepting destructive and dangerous practises" and maybe Noah realized this. If you do not believe there was "A Flood" you may kindly disregard/ignore my talk of such matters.
Mind you, this isn't just a whim idea of the advancement/control of society. Well over three decades ago, I read the predictions of a cashless society and meshing man & machine (manchine?) into a flawless, smooth running machine devoid of the woes of mankind, in a magazine called OMNI.
I never thought I would live to see it come about and if I did, I never thought society would be happy to see it happen, either. I was wrong. Much of the "New World Order" is falling into place and will probably be ready to go in about 5 to 7 years if even that long, give or take a plague or terrorist attack or two.

Methinks I'd rather fight and die rather than being part computer.
I'm sure when the times comes, we will be given that option - our last decision as a human being.
