Technology is fun to think about. I can't wait to hang out with my cyborg friends. Just think how nice it will be when we have a cyborg to check for our mistakes in data formats, etc. lending to us having more time to imagine and discover.
Of course people are not going to believe in this kind of technology, it's the norm to think along a linear path just like 25 years ago people would have thought ridiculous and ludicrous to some technologies which are common place today.
People believe in the here and now - but times will change and I for one cannot wait for the post scarcity super AGI etc technologies.
