When these hand held computing devices become part of our minds, the ability to do what we please with our minds will be constantly under attack. There will be one school of thought, where all general purpose processing should be monitored by a central government agency, and another school of thought that what happens in my mind is strictly my business only. If you want to come search my mind, you'll have to get a warrant and probable cause.
We must fight for the ability to do anything we want on our computers, and to keep out anyone we don't like on our computers, or else we will wake up as slaves one day to a magnificent society.
Maybe it would be better if all humans were to become recruited as a hive of unthinking automations, like the borg, where we submit our will to others, and human potential to explore the universe increases.
I support the pirate bay because they support my personal freedom to think whatever I want to on my devices. If I am to be recruited as a component of a collective, that should be my choice, not the default only-choice.

If you're part of a collective mind you are part of something much larger than yourself, kind of like a voice in a forum, but a much larger and better integrated forum. How great is a neuron in comparison to the brain? I don't think the neuron relinquishes its will to the collective, but rather, only inside the collective does it really shine.
