I'm not sure your assertions are correct. Very few of the transhuman
projections go into details about the enhancement to preception of a wider
spectrum of em radiation. Just about nobody talks about built-in radio
receivers. (The ones that do couple it with built-in transmitters, and call
it telepathy, or pseudo-telepathy.)
People ARE in a box (several distinct kinds of boxes, in fact), and just about
all of them are quite comfortable there.
