Quote of the Day (Joe Queenan, on the Potential Damage Done by Just One Tech Company)

“If Apple ever gets its hands on this technology [connections between computers and the human brain], the cortical interfaces will probably look gorgeous but cost three times as much as the models sold by Lenovo or Asus. And you will need to replace the batteries every two years. Moreover, if you try to replace the batteries yourself by consulting one of those illuminating YouTube videos, you could end up the victim of a clumsy self-lobotomy. So cortical interfaces will be just like iPhones: loads of fun but constantly in need of hugely expensive upgrades.”—Joe Queenan, “Moving Targets: Should We Put Our Heads in the Clouds?,” The Wall Street  Journal, Apr. 1-2, 2017
