The tech currently requires surgically implanted sensors so I can.

I rather doubt it will all that much. You'll always have way better usability with the implant.

Quite an understatement. What evidence suggests that our civilization is on the verge of reaching literal hell? Isn't it the way of things that society has up-times and down-times? That humanity can rebuild itself, better yet reach for the stars and colonize them? Why the hell would I want to miss out on that?

It is not the stars we dream of but a peace of mind that reaching them requires.

Uh, what? What's your problem with having to get an implant? It just makes sense for doing what it's meant to do.

It ensures the most reliable possible connection which is vital for people in need.

Sounds good to me. I imagine immortality tech ought to include legal suicide methods, but I doubt they'll be popular no matter what "tortured immortal" morality fables for young audiences have to say.

I mean yeah, if its a routine operation with trivial risk and does in fact have lots of upsides (like superimposed ARG-Vision!) then yeah the implant is probably fine, I imagine it'll be like in that one story where newborns just get it routinely added at birth.

Some social issue will come up in 20 years or so that I will probably look extremely bigoted for opposing because things weren't like that when I was growing up. We tell ourselves that we'll be different than our parents, and we are in that we accept the poo poo our parents hate, but in the end it's all the same: there's always something new, the boundaries always move, and that's why we all have to die.

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but not only did Clinton use only her personal email during her time as Secretary of State, but she ran her own email server out of her own house.

If any goon thought this was going away any time soon.....well, you're dumb. Also get ready for more BENGHAZI since this gives republicans more meat to claim Hillary was holding out on information...which really, is her own drat fault now.

No, the WHOIS registry's home address is listed as her house. The physical location of the server is unknown at the moment.

I just cannot see people caring much about email servers. Of course there will be more BENGHAZI but there will be if the sun rises in the morning no matter what.

Same. The Republicans have been shouting about Benghazi nonstop for the last four or so years now, that I seriously cannot see a single undecided voter hear about that poo poo again, even in a new way, and think "wow, THIS is the Benghazi report that will FINALLY make me change my mind about this"
