Will computers and high tech transform humans into higher beings?

[BurtWorm]

I remember not so long ago when Usenet and on-line magazines were full of talk about how computers and interconnectivity were going to make human beings and human society evolve into something transcendant of "humanness." These same "theorists" held that Michael Jackson was a symbol of "transhumanity"--the new self-creative being we would all become in the wake of dot-com-munism.

I never bought it. This utopia looks even more remote to me now. How about y'all?

1. Until high tech evolves to the point that freepers can't access it,

not a flippin chance!

2. We will evolve into something "higher" or we will die...

but it won't be because of computers and high-tech gizmos.

3. We will become so interconnected we will develop telepathy

Trash the computers and do it naturally like God intended.
