Science fiction and fact blur in special effects
Writers script possibilities a la Phillip K Dick
which end up like Dick Tracey's wristwatch-
ads that monitor audiences,I Robots and Cyborgs
We need the Asimovs and Arthur C Clarke's to presage our futures
If we are to be connected to a Web.3-or offshored to a cloud
(our information is us-we are our data)-then privacy is no longer an issue
Uniformity and control are!Who decides who lives,who dies
when paralyzed?Rich clients with Alzheimers might buy hospitals
(President Marcos had 4 of the 13 dialysis machines in the Philippines)
while Plagues reduce population via organic sprouts e coli.
Consider brain research that is available right now to billionaires.
Consider foundations and their cuts in funding.Ask why insurance selects clients
Will we exchange freedom and autonomy for safety and security?
Police and Emergency budgets over schools and libraries?
Will we see no point in art,culture,literacy,philosophy?
Unless and until there is an available app on the WWWeb
and you can download new thoughts
from the second hand censored edited Internet
