Flippant Speculation On Future States Of Human Weirdness/Awsomeness

"Cdak" by Quite & Orange (party version) from Mitch Bucanon on Vimeo.

I imagine that in the far future all of mankind will have begun to live their lives in the digital world of the noosphere; the distant virtual-reality-like offspring of the current internet, monumental but invisibly enveloped inside the physical universe, having uploaded their minds more or less deliberately, augmented with all of the interconnected oceans of data resultant from the instant and simultaneous connection of all peoples' thoughts with all others', into some kind of transhuman Matrix-world with incomprehensibly more diverse physical "laws", which are changed at will anyways, and a practically infinite amount of novel potential experiences. I imagine that the grey-goo-like, nano-technology-comprised supercomputer-mainframe that this digital universe is hosted on, slowly floats though the galaxies like a borg cube in search of new forms of intelligent life with which to engage in the exchange of knowledge, experience, and art. I imagine that supercomputer-craft, which in a more poetic formulation would be like the physical body of the now greatly expanded mind of the transhuman hive-consciousness, might look something like the video above.
