The latest advance in the great Man-Internets Fusion project: Intel is developing brain implants that will psychically interface human beings with their technology. I suppose it was only a matter of time… You have gone too far, science! Although… will I be able to use this implant to turn off other people’s cell phones and Blackberries at a distance?

By the year 2020, you won’t need a keyboard and mouse to control your computer, say Intel Corp. researchers. Instead, users will open documents and surf the Web using nothing more than their brain waves.

Scientists at Intel’s research lab in Pittsburgh are working to find ways to read and harness human brain waves so they can be used to operate computers, television sets and cell phones. The brain waves would be harnessed with Intel-developed sensors implanted in people’s brains.

The scientists say the plan is not a scene from a sci-fi movie—Big Brother won’t be planting chips in your brain against your will. Researchers expect that consumers will want the freedom they will gain by using the implant.

10 years from now people will voluntarily have surgically implanted brain sensors to use the internet? um, yeah, this is definitely going to happen. I’m going to call all my friends on my AT+T video phone right now to tell them the good news.

Well, when Timothy Leary was talking about his vision of spider web linking individuals around the world in 70’s, they perceived him as a total nutcase I wouldn’t be surprised if that technology flows out even earlier!

Hi,
What a great technology.I dont think that is going to happen.Well lets see but for that i will have to be alive for 10 years.I wish researchers all the best for this research.

Poor memory welcomes this. That’s me.

oh, THANK YOU GOD FOR THIS POST!!

and no, i don’t mean Jason.

No, this IS the point that all consciousness seeks to attract - total indiscrimination of the real or the “unreal” .. just consider the fact we’re all one consciousness experiencing itself.

in 200 years the “Matrix” trilogies will be used as a cautionary tale of how the “fear of the unknown” will make anyone STUPID! Can you imagine machines being demonized just b/c they can think for themselves!? isn’t the moral of every story that you can’t control things - so why bother anyway??  - FYI - if machines wanted to wipe us out then they would just detonate the atmosphere . they don’t need it anyway . end of story . but if i may suggest that if ever an “artificial” intelligence was created from computers with all of the known qualities of possessing consciousness ... that is to say, the computer could affect reality the way people can via quantum structures; then i would suggest a computer would be much more interested in that fact than trying to figure out a way to blow up your atmosphere. IMO.>>
