Next Game Console Ideas?

The Singularity is the point when humans will supposedly merge with technology. In the most basic form, think of the Borg from Star Strek

Yes, I will be wholeheartedly against that.

I'm not sure I like the sound of that either. If there's one thing I learned from Star Trek, it's that Borg suck.

I said in a basic form. What I meant was the fused with technology part, not so much the collective mind or determination to wipe out anything that isn't borg

When did this topic go insane?

[Gracie]

Someone finally realises that you can't beat a good old hand controller.


Or something....

I'm not putting nanomachines in my brain, no matter how cool the technology is.

What if it gives you superpowers?

What if it gives you superpowers?

I am suddenly on the fence...

[Black Breeze]

Depends on the power. <

[Holkeye]

The power to live in Mom's basement and subsist only on Cheetos and Mountain Dew.

[Black Breeze]

I could live off Mt. Dew. But still, wouldn't want to be a bum.

[tSwitch]

What if it gives you superpowers?

Nope.  Not worth having computers that could influence my mind floating around my body.  I am not a tool for some corporation or entity to control, ergo I will not give them the chance to.

So you don't watch TV? Because commercials might be subliminally controlling you. It's weaker, but it is still a chance.

[tSwitch]

I actually really don't watch much TV at all, believe it or not.  I tend to just watch whatever shows I want to see on my computer.  No commercials (commercials are lame, possible subliminal aside), don't need to wait days/weeks for the next episode, I can watch them on my own time...much more convenient.

[Black Breeze]

 Commercials aren't lame. They tell you what's happening from video games to movies to Avon junk.

But what if it's the government. You can trust the government!!

You do need to wait week(s) if you are watching the new season of some series.
Commercials are lame, but I used them for my point anyway.

WHAT IF YOU DESIGNED IT AND PUT IT IN YOURSELF?

[Black Breeze]

If I had complete control of it, and there was no way that it could be hacked, AND that I could not become a cyborg, and after a test on a monkey, THEN I would. 8o

[tSwitch]

Just keep in mind that there's always a way to hack something.

[Black Breeze]

Not if you killed every hacker virus and skull key on the face of the earth and cyber world.

[tSwitch]

Good luck.

[Black Breeze]

Yeah. Anyone wanna help me?
