I agree with everything you say. In the future, brain implants will be a common consumer products and we will be connected 24 X 7 to the internet through our own brains. This of course will raise questions about privacy in the wake of deeper surveillance but we as a society need to decide whether to take us into that direction.

I too share you regret in not being alive at the time when space exploration will be as easy as travelling to other countries today. What magnificence will the people of that time be exposed to at that time when they will be flying through space from Earth to the moon, Mars and even beyond. We will never know and can only imagine :)
