Professional writers spend a lot of time doing research. Lots of research. This means reading material about the subject matter. Use Google and see what's online, but also read a few dozen books from a good library. That being said, you don't need a lot of technical detail; you're going to write a story. That involves realistic characters, dialog, and relationships. This is what will make you succeed (or fail) as a writer.

They would have Carbone breast implants.

Studies in this field are really difficult to do. A rigorously defensible experimental regime is nearly impossible to establish. Inferences made from Factor Analysis and Correlation matrices are nearly shaky as Ouija boards and Yarrow sticks. Low numbers of casual observations made from a preselected class of people does not constitute good random sampling. The best conclusions in the field would barely serve as hypotheses in a true science. The "softer" sciences are extremely difficult to work with.

They will move from Sharia Law to Kirchoff's Laws.

While information does want to be free, this is going to get some very good people killed. You know, there are some really evil people out there and it is up to someone to keep track of them. Sometimes that function falls on the people being exposed here.

Who wants to go back the the past with stodgy, old-fashioned GUI driven by a 2x2 finger pad? The form of the platform may change, but intelligent users will demands for their computers the ease of use of a modern interface such as that provided by the best tablets. Out with the buggy whips and hand cranks.

Customer: "My cable modem keeps dropping sessions." Watson: "What is Toronto?????"

So What? We are the average of the various quantum states of our constituent particles, at least in THIS universe.

I've never had the battery run down on a paper map.

Not much better than sending CD through a shredder or through the incinerator in the burn-bags. Of course, not as fun to watch.

If you are going to build a 1700 mile pipeline then why not build a habitat closer to the poles?
