I went into this thinking of how what are today hackers may tomorrow be browsing our brains, but that's not really what this could be used for; programming and such would be the same sort of thing as before, the genetic engineers would just take over hardware.
It does add a whole new dimension to computers, though, just to think about what technology you'd be using, particularly if/when it started talking to you...
All right, that does look pretty cool, if cheesy... I can't help but be a little dissapointed that they made a 'Dungeons and Dragons the movie' at all, though. If TSR (Or I guess it's WotC now - look how outdated I am) wanted to make a movie, they could just as easily have made a film set in a D&D type-setting, with another title. Dungeons and Dragons, like the upcoming Final Fantasy Movie, will likely not even attempt to capture the feel of the game, so calling it that is just an attempt to capitalize on how recognizable the product name is - and I imagine that relying on that, they will work a lot less on making it an actually quality fantasy movie than they might have if it had just been something called 'The Pit of Flame' or whatever set in Greyhawk.
Of course, I'll probably see it anyway... Damn them, they were counting on this... -Glump!
