you're just gonna be one node out of a gazillion... whether you're wired or not...
you can take the blue pill... or you can take the red pill...
you can be wired into the Metaverse, and tapped into everything...
or deafer and dumber than that plant who wants to thank you
"They have eyes, but do not see (because they aren't wearing their 3d-HUD walkaround-goggles)... they have ears but do not hear (because the f**kin' luddites refuse to get hip and wear their iBrain multi-freq receivers all the time)..."
stick it in your ear
"Buckle up -- wear your 3d-HUDs whenever you enter the RW-streetzone... the government is not responsible for your safety if you refuse to plug in"
"Honey, does this hip-pack make my ass look fat?"
the hip-pack of course is where you'll carry the interface unit to your trillion-core processor (C12) stationed at home... the hip-pack only having enough room for that mini million-core processor (C6) you use for VR-walkaround-looksee... and of course the C6 hip pack will provide any processing oomph needed to run the Hedy WiMaxx multiband Skip-freq transceiver... (you need the Hedy to communicate securely with the C12 at home, you lovable luddite)
i'm chiming in to attest dgatwood is absatively, posilutely correct... light yellow on dark blue... the very best, by cracky
i been doin this programming stuff for over 35 years, and i'm here to tell you i tried 'em all... back in the day (well, back in the previous century actually), the common wisdom was green green green, easiest color on the eyes... that's why old Techtronix terminals and a lot of the original PC monitors were bright green on black... something always bothersome about that though
then, about 15 years ago, a fellow consultant who came from Xerox clued me in to try bright yellow on dark blue, on my Windows monitor... "no way" sez i... "way" sez he... land'o'goshen, i was surprised... i don't like yellow usually, i do like blue, but if'n yer programming for 10-15 hours a day, believe me (or not, i don't care), that bright yellow on dark blue does the trick... by which i mean, after a while you don't see the colors, they don't bother you... did i mention i don't like yellow? but it soothes the eyes, that combo, bright yellow on dark blue... did i mention i sometimes work on the computer 10, 15, 20 hours at a stretch? and those color issues just kinda disappear and you can concentrate on yer code (which you should be doin anyway, not foolin around with color palettes, hell, that's what those executives and marketing people do all day)
and that old green screen style (green on black, bright green on dark green) can get mighty irritating after only 3 or 4 hours...
this ain't a scientific or medical study, this is better... empirical first-person testimony
seriously... even after 20 hours straight time at the keyboard, my eyeballs be feelin totally refreshed
remember... bright yellow on dark blue... only use bright blue if the dumbchucks who did yer editor or app don't let you do dark blue for background (are you listening, you guys who made my favorite PC editor?)

you're assuming callable everything
it's gonna be networked everything
you're assuming you're gonna have control
you're just gonna be one node out of a gazillion... whether you're wired or not...
