From Sirk's linked article:
So being "linked in" or "online" will replace the five senses, essentially.
Science fiction writer and pervert Robert Heinlein wrote a short story that sort of predicted this 60 years ago, only instead of being wired into the Internet -- Al Gore hadn't invented it yet -- the ultimate sensory experience was to be wired into entertainment: Television, movies, etc. You experienced them by literally being flayed open and your nervous system wired for direct input.
It was extremely expensive, because you no longer had a functioning body, couldn't work, had to be fed intravenously. Yet it wasn't surprising that people were willing to sacrifice that much for pure personal pleasure. Guess we won't have to actually sacrifice our lives and our bodies to completely remove ourselves from reality, huh?
And Schmidt actually thinks this is a good thing? Makes me think twice about subscribing to Google Fiber.
