Just got back from my weekly meditation at the Washington Buddhist Vihara. There was a young black woman, sitting on her cushion in the half-lotus, wearing a t-shirt that said "I'm blogging this." I watched her for a while to see if she was imputing something into a hand-held during meditation, but she wasn't. Then I had a glimpse of the future when all of us are part human, part android, and you might have a chip implanted in your brain so that you can immediately imput your thoughts to a blog.
Still, I'd like to think that even in such a future you would be able to turn the damn machine off in your head when you need to meditate. Because we'll need to meditate, then more than ever.
