Many happy returns to all the living on the list and to the dead, thanks for all the memories.
Prediction: Telebrain: How do we fastforward the human brain? Continued mapping of more and more of the brain. Implanted slow-release drugs to self-regulate moods and biochemical shift. Genetic engineering to regenerate aging brain cells – upgrade intelligence – deactivate vestigial parts of the brain.
Plug in/Plug off super microchip implants to amplify brain versatility and power. For example: millisec computations in the head with visual displays – instant access to info – hi-speed playback – simultaneous info retrieval/transmission. Implanted transceiver for direct brain to brain interface. Implanted sensors for continuous monitoring of all body functions and self-regulation of biorhythms and mood swings. By 2010 the human brain should emerge as a super telebrain – a powerful autonomous transceiver free of the animal body – able to connect with new replaceable bodies.
Reality: Remember last week when I had to begrudgingly admit the guy got some stuff right? This week, I don't have to begrudge anything, because nothing is as he predicted. The closest things might be FitBit and Google Glass, but they are wearable, not implanted. And biorhythms! Ah, it brings back memories.
I have to say, as annoying as his made-up words are, his punctuation and grammar irritate every bit as much. I wrote this one out verbatim, just to show how much this guy loved dashes.
Looking one day ahead... INTO THE FUTURE!

Join us then... IN THE FUTURE!
A Red Dwarf fan?! Outstanding! That series was superb, a very underrated series in my humble O. Great choice in picking Danny! I hope you select Lister when he's up...
