Kiss your keyboard goodbye: Soon we'll jack our brains directly into the Net - and that's just the beginning.

"Channel 3.  I said channel 3!  Stupid remote" “ Nagle, a 26-year-old quadriplegic, was hooked up to a computer via an implant smaller than an aspirin that sits on top of his brain and reads electrical patterns. Using that technology, he learned how to move a cursor around a screen, play simple games, control a robotic arm, and even - couch potatoes, prepare to gasp in awe - turn his brain into a TV remote control. All while chatting amiably with the researchers. He even learned how to perform these tasks in less time than the average PC owner spends installing Microsoft (Charts) Windows [FULL STORY] ” I admit to feeling a tad uncomfortable with some recent technological advancements, like this one.  Yes, it will give new life to the Nagles in our world,  but I foresee unintended consequences here.  When the day arrives that we all have these little chips implanted, it should give the stronger, more intelligent brain dominion over the lesser, more feeble minded,  and with it the ability to make people do things against their will.  That can be both a good thing and a bad thing.
