Watch Sense 8 if you want to know where its going. Check this: https://cosmosmagazine.com/tec... So it can carry the signal of the spinal cord to the brain, and vice versa. Connect one to the eyes and ears and nose etc, then swap the signals via a network. One monkey becomes another and vv, if the brain remapping between the two is complete. With clever remaps monkey can become horse or dog, then switch back. Man and woman can become each other in the bedroom, etc. Just the surface. Crazy powerful, crazy creepy: Cyber is God, master of all dimensions of human experience for those who partake. Risks may totally outweigh benefits.

The thing that concerns me is the security dimension. The fact is, 1990-2010 no one heard of the cloud, yet for the most part things worked fine. Yet now, to avoid theft, everything must be monitored through cloud based surveillance, to avoid hacking everything needs to managed and cloud based. Again not blaming the cloud people for it, but observing that it all represents a huge concentration of power driven by crime.

People prowling around? Stealing packages? Put cloud connected Ring cameras everywhere. Ransomware? Move to cloud. Response to all kinds of crime becoming cloud based, with crime increasing and power centralizing. Not blaming the cloud folks, just observing how destabilization ends up empowering them.

That actually explains a lot of what I have heard lately about police shortages. The solution? More intelligence support, and more money in their paychecks. If you want police not having F-ups, they need high grade real time intelligence on who they are dealing with every time. This means gathering knowledge in a way that ignore lesser crimes and puts understanding foremost, to empower cops, which is anathema to how it has been done. Oh and letting people make their own choices on what goes in their bodies would also be wise.

The problem is playing Pokemon on the job broadcasts police GPS location to third parties, useful for say, planning a robbery. Looking up a plate for a friend can pin down when certain people are away from places, useful for crimes. The biggest threat is police who ARE criminals, not police who fight criminals in sloppy way.
