不过，或许最令人兴奋的发展是控制论和通过基因实现的长寿。我得说，我相当享受与云端的直接链接，去年冬天，它们植入了我双眼下面的软组织中。现在我不需要任何辅助工具，就可以直接下载内容、与虚拟好友联系，还能免提通话、听音乐或观看视频。而且，如果这些干细胞药剂的效果像宣传得那么好的话，100年之后，我照样还能重温现在最喜欢的剧集。

    当然，也不是一切都井井有条。仍有一些人自由散漫，既不使用地理位置标签，也不登录任何社交媒体社区。我们会找到这些人，将他们融入到整体之中，他们别无选择。现在他们数量如此之少，而我们如此之多。我们将取得最终胜利，向着光明的数码未来前进，巨大的集体大脑早已为我们规划好了一切。

    我们到时候见！

    Perhaps the most exciting developments, though, are the parallel gains in cybernetics and genome-based longevity. I have to say that I am really enjoying my direct link to the Cloud, which was inserted in the soft tissue behind my eye last winter. Now I can not only download stuff or contact my virtual friends, but talk hands-free, listen to music, or look at video content without benefit of ancillary devices. And if these stem cell suppositories work the way they're supposed to, I'll be enjoying reruns of my favorite shows 100 years from now.

    Not all is as it should be, of course. There are still those who roam free, without geo-tagging or membership in any social media community. They will be found and incorporated into the body. They can't do otherwise. There are so few of them now, and so many of us. We will triumph in the end and march together into a bright digital future that has been formatted for us by our gigantic collective brain.

    See you there!
