O Ray! O Ray!
The movie [Matrix] celebrates those humans who choose to be completely unaltered by technology, even spurning the bioport. Incidentally, in my book The Age of Spiritual Machines2, I refer to such people as MOSHs (Mostly Original Substrate Humans).
C’est moche.
“A mind that stays at the same capacity cannot live forever; after a few thousand years it would look more like a repeating tape loop than a person. To live indefinitely long, the mind itself must grow […] and when it becomes great enough, and looks back […] what fellow feeling can it have with the soul that it was originally? The later being would be everything the original was, but vastly more.” – Vernor Vinge
