Video

I saw this on 60 Minutes the other night, and I dug up this video on the Robotic Arm they were showcasing in that episode. Imagine where the power of harnessing the brains thoughts and actions could lead us...

A few thoughts jumped to mind:
-Word Processors that recorded thoughts..?
-Bluetooth powered arms instead of heavy cables/wires..?
-The ability to hijack another persons minds..?

What other technologies could evolve using this technology, and when do you think we're crossing the line?

Because good manners build sturdy walls, our distaste for intimacy makes us exceedingly cordial "ships that pass in the night." As long as you remain a stranger we will be your friend forever.''

''I want people to be sincere; a man of honor shouldn't speak a single word that doesn't come straight from his heart. ''

Deus Ex.
ITS HAPPENING, YES!

Seriously holy -blam!-.

Well if you were sitting next to someone and were really thinking bout punching them or gouging their eyes out...

but yeah, word processors with that system might work. Unless you have multiple thoughts at the same time. Then it sucks.

I was watching this episode with my grandfather,and after bringing up the idea of bluetooth connections instead of heavy-duty wires, he was convinced that terrorists were going to abuse the technology and hack into every US citizen's brain. Silly grandpa.

That's the kind of advancements that will improve the quality of life for current prosthesis users greatly.

...eh? For what?

OT: The future is now, folks. Technology is getting all the time. I can't wait to see this get fleshed out more. People who need prosthetics (especially arms) will have a better quality of life with these.

That robotic arm is cool, but why did you bury that video in the first place? Why not put it on a shelf where it is safe?
