We give power to those who tell us what we want to hear, simply so we can continue with our own plans with as little disruptions as possible.

Of the other things you note, I like the idea of augmented humanity the most. Even past the prospect of having a targeting scope as a natural part of my vision, I see possibilities for us anti-social folks in dealing with small talk and "accepted" ranges of conversation

of course, I should avoid programming my own responses
