Master Goldstein proceeded to present a handful of other examples of alternative interfacing technologies.
Many of them sounded just as dubious and wacky as heavy digitization and heavy automation!
One application relied on merging the head of a human test subject with an aquatic alien that was known to possess incredibly powerful cognitive functions.
Another solution was to split up the burden of piloting a mech to six different test subjects.
The Mech Trade Association never became satisfied with these results!
The combat effectiveness of the 'mech' became seriously compromised.
The 'pilots' had to undergo extreme changes that were detrimental to human society.
The amount of money and resources put into these solutions were extremely wasteful to the point where it became uneconomical to employ them on a wider scale!
