Yes Dr. Ple and most of us are also "innovators, really" ;-)

I added this note to remind me of the contrast between 'love' (a linking of minds as promoted by G2K recently) and 'connected brains' (a physical linking of physiological organs or different entities -- a real Frankenstein). In future we may see 'wireless' (or over the Internet) connections of brains (of different animals like man and whale or eagle -- so that man have new capacities for learning from "link" and "love" ;-)
