[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] That article linked by Sol was VERY interesting... I'm reminded of the little data port that we've seen used on "Andromeda" from time to time (didn't we see something like it in "A Simple Investigation" too?). It's basically a temporary neural link from the brain into the computer network, which expands and intensifies the brain's contacts and capabilities. Basically, the concept of Intelligence Amplification. While not exactly related, I'm also reminded of a bit of technology from the novel "Conqueror's Pride" by Timothy Zahn. It's basically another form of IA, but the twist is that the humans using the computer interface became "addicted" to the experience and spent more and more time connected to the net. Take these two ingredients one step further, and start with two people linking their minds together through the computer network... and viola, you get a Borg Collective. [/QB][/QUOTE]
