Mind Children author Hans Moravec goes on to posit that what we need to "take advantage" of human mobility and computer calculating power is a "high-tech" wardrobe that will eventually lead to the conscious computer. Note the move from a cyborg concept that could allow the human to explore new ways of being, to a computer creature that simply replace the human being as the more perfect citizen of the police state. These are the defense department and company-sponsored thinkers at the frontline of robotics who, in their enthusiasm for creating robot servants to do our bidding, utterly fail to encompass the future of human possibility that sees the cyborg as an end, not a means by which humanity can be bypassed or enslaved.
Cyborg, Steve Mann, page 50
