Samuel L. Jackson exclaiming “I have had it with these *^%#@^! TVs on this !@#$%^& plane!”...

Almost fell out of my chair. That's funny! Is that why Siri's not on the iPad, so they can make the SLJ commercial?

But glittering prizes and endless compromises
Shatter the illusion of integrity."

Woz is very prescient. Humans will most likely continue to abstract away from the physical and may one day come to have their conciousness ensconsed in future technology. So instead of occupying a body one could occupy that old G4 cube case loaded with new tech...

If Woz wants to get on the Ray Kurzweil AI bandwagon, he's moving the date up a few decades, but anyone who thinks that new phenomena won't start happening in the digiverse after another ten rev's of Moore's law, advances in programming and more involved world-wide networking is also working a little short of a full deck.

With so many not able to go very long without logging in to the Net, and our reliance on GPS, and handheld devices to get us information and to where we think we want to be, it has already started, granted it's on a small scale but once the interconnectivity is complete it's a no-brainer, literally!
