I'm not saying it won't go that way. I'm saying it doesn't have to go that way.
As far as being more personable and less connected, I don't disagree. I'm about as disconnected as someone can be. I literally do not have a single friend who isn't virtual. But I never had friends before this technical evolution either, so I'm actually in contact with more people people now than I was before the internet, albeit in a very different yet still very real way.
In other words, what we're seeing may not be the end of connection, but the beginning of a different kind of connection.
But it's admittedly human nature to fear change....
And yes, technology in the dark sector is decades beyond what we have. I would imagine it's decades beyond anything in your articles.
