Inarticulately I will say holy balls, man. This is wild to think about for sure.

    If there is an ultimate goal to this technological progress it can best be represented in attempting to have a complete and unified history of self and consciousness. And it will all be in the Global Brain.

Reminds me of this story written by Isaac Asimov, The Last Question. If anyone hasn't read this I highly recommend it, especially if you are interested in this idea of a 'global consciousness'. Incredible and somewhat scary at the same time.
