The next phase of human biological evolution is the ability
to transmit our consciousness over the network. Which is already
happening.
The situation is mirrored by current technology, where a computer is able to host multiple virtual machines - within the past decade, human intellect have been evolving to project avatars. The avatar consciousness is also evolving, so that currently human could choose to reveal herself/himself/itself more intimately.
To reject this evolution would be like the populace pining for physical pieces of silver, gold, bronze or jade when China invented paper money and promissory tickets. The flexibility of gradually maturing virtual money backed by royal or warlord's promissory trumps over the inflexibility of the cumbersome and unregulated activity of actually handling those valuables.
Or, it would be like rejecting the new found literacy available to the masses after the invention of printing both in China and Germany - where it would be like pining over actual physical contact rather than mass printed impersonal books and communiques.
In the future, we will achieve super-luminal travel by transporting our consciousness over time and space to explore the galaxy and universe after humankind has laid out hubs further and further away from our home planets. Wherefore our frail human bodies will never adapt to the super gravitation and degradation due to relativity-breaching modes of transport, even when we achieve the technology. We would have bodies ready-made on shared/rental at our destination of travel.
Embrace the change or keep the change at your own peril.
