We're a long way away. (Score 1)

Two years ago, I could have fully believed that if the "technical elite" could plug themselves in, and have pretty colored Tron suits to flash their tech savvy, they'd give an arm for it. Literally. Not today, though. Their are still those that buy the gadgets because they are neat and still embody all that is wonderful and geeky, but the job market and the culture has started to have quite and infiltration of "normal" (I use this term incredibly loosely) people. With this taking place, I think it will be a while before we go Borg. At this rate we seem to be heading more Federation.
