This week the guys ramble (and I mean seriously ramble) about the possibilities of self-evolution through the addition of machines and upgrades. This isn’t your mother’s Six Million Dollar Man discussion!
It’s much, much worse.
Thanks again to Gottoon for the idea for the topic!
Listen, upgrade, and evolve!

I like it… this topic requires a multi episode discussion.
So this is what I was thinking. You all touched on it a little bit with the upgrades idea then the cops needing upgrades to be able to deal with the upgraded criminals.
This one thing leads to another scenario would actually become the evolution of our species. Because the natural evolution would be altered and natural selection wouldn’t exist. We would find ways of upgrading ourselves to with technology to keep even the weakest links alive and thriving. Over time our species would depend solely on the technology for advances in humanity. We would become the Borg but hopefully without the kill everyone attitude.
Sign me up for the BOX!!! I think a lot of human brain’s potential is lost just because the correct or not enough information is available. If we had more direct access to data then we each would be able to work at a higher capacity. Give me the WiFi brain implant so i can look up info faster… I could imagine being able to think of a topic and just having data stream in to my head about that topic… Very Very COOL!!!
Let me know on the Google Voice thing… I have invites left…
BTW… Used Google Wave for a business collaboration / brainstorming session this week. I was surprised how awesome it worked. There were two of us writing the same doc at the same time. It was very cool… Downfall: no really good way to get it in to a word doc after it was done. I found a way… not a easy way. I will have to write a blog about it.
