The slow transition into clothes wearing people bears starts with a loss of higher intellect. This higher intellect separates us from the animals (except dolphins, they are much better at jeopardy then we are). But I'm welcoming this transformation. In fact I'm even trying to speed up my semi-cyborg existence.
In this new age of cell phones and digital clocks, our "real" clocks, seem to serve the same purpose as typewriters and dial-up. They're out of place in our current world. like Brendan Frasier in 'Blast From The Past' or the dinosaurs in 'Jurassic Park'. Why would I need a boring old clock with it's slow moving hands when I could use my awesome cell phone to tell me what time it is in flashy digital light up numbers? You wouldn't pick a Mcdonald's burger over lobster would you? Because that's essentially what your doing every time you use an old clock to tell the time. No one cares about your fancy watch either. Now embrace the machines and throw away your clocks.
And while we're riding ourselves of silly human things..
Why not burn all of our hard copy books? We have digital books and books on tape we'll never need them again. I say we round up all the hard copy books in the country and burn them in some sort of big town square (we could even roast marshmallows). Why read when you could listen to someone else read to you? Hell I've already forgotten how to read thanks to ebooks and I'll never need to count thanks to my phone's built in calculator. I'm telling you Sesame Street severely over-valued all these skills. It's like they didn't see the future coming. At this point computers do 85-90% of my thinking (and I used a calculator to figure that out).
Once I get my Segway to walk for me and oxygen machine to breath for me I'll be a full blown cyborg. Then I can move to Detroit, buy a hockey helmet, and I will finally fulfill my childhood dream of being RoboCop.
