Hell I'd like nothing more than a symbiotic relationship with an installed nanomachine, it powers itself off my fat cells, and I get to eat donuts all day, knowing I'm saving the environment more than gluing a solar panel to my head would.

If I was gonna take a direct brain link to the internet tho, I'd be wanting a SERIOUSLY good antivirus and firewall. I'll take a few lost mp3s and a reinstall over death any day.
