My friend and I were recently discussing about the ubiquitousness of technology in our daily lives. Reading this post makes me think back to that discussion we had, and just how inseparable from electronics we have all become.


I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Societal concerns aside... I just hope that as memory becomes cheaper, the possibility of copying our brains onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's one of the things I really wish I could see in my lifetime.

I'm in a love-hate relationship with digital memory because of the way prices are always,and I mean always dropping. I absolutely hate buying SDs for my R4 / R4i at (seemingly) a cheap price only to see it become a whole lot more cheaper a few weeks later.
