What kind of Borg are you?
I consider myself to be a wireless Borg but I do have to hook up so to speak once in a while to do large data transfers and recharge batteries.
What the heck am I talking about? Well you see as a Borg I have wearable electronics including my Pocket PC, cell phone and medical devices. I wear a tens machine when I need to and have the PPC and cell with me at all times.
I am "connected" able to read my email, surf the web, view information, work on work and all that stuff wirelessly by using the celphone and my pocketPC wirelessly. The two have Bluetooth so they can talk, I have a ton of music on the ppc as well as the other stuff (including the PADD and a rudimentary tricorder.)
All of these machines use batteries, which I have to recharge.
Some people are wired borgs, they have to carry a power supply or be plugged in to communicate. These include the older but still prevalent laptop borgs and people on kidney dialysis.
Don't get me wrong I do have a laptop as well as dektop computer systems but the computer I always carry is my PPC.
How does life as a borg make my life better then the normal non-borg varient human? I use my technology to augment my human tools. I can't think faster by using it but I do have more information to make decisions on. I am able to control the pain from my medical problems. I am able to remeber things I couldn't before (such as people names and phone numbers.)
Soon I will be able to see better with the edition of a heads up display and computer augmentation of what i see.
With the increase in computing power and the ability to connet to my home computer network I can use the collective power of those computers from anywhere I can connect by bluetooth or cell. Life is good.
