Brain Chip Reads Man's Thoughts - want one? :P

my thoughts (without the benefit of a brain chip as of yet tongue.gif):
amazing! and immensely beneficial for people who have lost their motor skills. but will it remain in the threshold of use by paralyzed people only? will there come a time when even non-paralyzed people can have implants such as this, for the sheer pleasure of having the capacity to control mechanical devices by way of thought, like a neat party trick one can hide 'under one's sleeve'? "Hey, look! I will think of a number, and see it flash on screen!" tongue.gif

even if you don't need it, would you consider having a brain chip to read your thoughts and control external objects? it's possible, right? of course i just gave a mundane example above, but what would you do if you have some power over matter with your mind? wink.gif

That would be beyond pimp.

I don't think that I would feel comfortable with something like that in my
brain. What if something malfunctions with the chip? Even if nothing malfunctions, I still wouldn't want one. I think that their taking technology too far. I understand that it could be benefitial for people who can't use their arms or legs, but it also has downsides. With something like this, people would become lazy. I don't really feel like going through the all of the downsides. Just my opinion.

i'm pretty sure if i were paralyzed, i'd be closely watching this. i mean, we wouldn't be able even use a computer if paralyzed, life would be completely different. good for them. i can just see it now, though, you get spam or some crap in your brain ... or someone sending signals to make your body do something, and there's nothing you can do about it. sounds like a science fiction book or something.

Really are you believing all this stuff?

Well I know that technology is rapidly being improved but I think that the era that we'll have the ability to put micro-chips in our heads is far far away. Maybe by the year 2597 the surgery will have the ability to put on you neon lights in order to be cool!

No, I think it's much closer than that. Not just based on this article, but on numerous articles that I have read in the past about microchips in the brain. Imagine what they
could do if they had someone implant microships into their brain. They could read someone's thoughts and do whatever they want with them (ie. brainwashing). They could make someone think the way they want him/her to think! And when I say "they" I mean the government, large companies, etc. It's pretty scary stuff if you ask me. It's
like a sci-fi movie, but it's actually real.

Woah what a scary thought. Hmm... split second reaction? Haha.

But I think it's taking it a bit too... extreme. I mean, is it really necessary? Sticking a piece of metal into your brain so that you can do things like switch your TV on or off at will is a bit.... unappealing to me. No, actually... very unappealing.

Imagine living as a machine.... or a biomachine... Some EMP comes your way and you're literally screwed.

Inspiron, while rather exaggerated, brings up a good point. I've heard of cyborg implants that will do similar things, and that private weapons companies are developing them now. If things like that were made, it would cause some pretty deep scars. But then again, we can always fry them all with EMP's.

And that brings up -another- topic. EMP warfare. Once terrorists get a brain, and learn that they can use EMP to take out power grids of major economical and political centers, what are we gonna do about that? That's the scary part.

    Brain is an important organ of the body which controls the central nervous system (CNS) and
    virtually controls all the human activities. The brain is divided into three parts: the forebrain,
    midbrain, and hindbrain. The forebrain includes the several lobes of the cerebral cortex that
    control higher functions, while the mid and hindbrain are more involved with unconscious, autonomic
    functions. It is highly intricate and is responsible for the thoughts, actions, and senses (sight,
    smell, taste, touch, hearing) that affect distinct sets of nerve cells and brain chemicals. ....

  14. Ceiling Fans A Poor Mans Air Conditioning.
    keeping the house cool on a budget. (3)
    Hi I discovered this a long time ago and it works rather well. There are a few tricks to keeping
    cool on a budget as many do not want to buy a AC unit and those in apartments who do not want to pay
    the land lord a large monthly fee. Now main thing that a ceiling fan does is eliminate dead air or
    rather it keeps the air in the house moving. Dead air in your house can cause you to bead and sweat.
    Now you do not need expensive fans but they should be able to keep the air moving. Your main focus
    is the areas that you spend most of your time. Where you watch tv, sit and r....
