GET WIRED! - some thoughts about techno-dystopia 

	With the right neural implants
	idiots can become savants
	and years of learning can be quickly gained.

	With the right cortical transmitters
	criminal behaviour can be eliminated
	and dedication to the state arranged.

	With proper circuits
	negative feelings can be suppressed
	and citizens can enjoy their virtual best.

	If not, contact Mind-ConnectionsTM -
	and transcend all petty individuality

	Get wired - with Mind-ConnectionsTM
	the wisdom of the whole planet
	is just a connection away!


Bill:   What worries me is that this sort of science fiction may someday come true.

Nadya:  Governments would love to get inside peoples' heads. Once you control their minds, 
        there is no longer any need for prisons or police.

Gus:    It would be the ultimate form of autocracy.

Liao:   (shaking his head) This must never happen! I am tempted to call it demonic.
