Way to make us more fat.

Does it really matter?

We will all be dead by 2012. 😉

 

[TheVrolok]

I'm down.

 

[Malak]

By 2020? HA, right. And we will have hover cars everywhere by 2001.

I'm interested to know if similar semantic meaning in languages can be read as the same brain waves, thus making translation much simpler.

Implants like this aren't going to catch on any time soon IMO, at least not for non-medical reasons. It sounds cool and all, but with current medical technology, implanting a device into your brain is a pretty invasive procedure. A lot of risk for no/little gain. Unless they can think of some kind of creative way to implant something in the brain without drilling through your skull, this will never catch on. Or maybe the chips will be small enough that a very small (microscopic?) hole could be drilled in the skull, and it could be implanted through that.

Devices placed under the skin or something like that seems a lot more practical, though.

my brain already controls my computers.

I'm still waiting on rocket packs and flying cars.

If they could use nanomachines that flow through the blood stream and stay dormant in the brain until injections of a material that can be used to reassemble the implant are injected into your body and then (through a protein signature) signal the nanomachines for reassembly this could be done without any invasive procedures.

Operating Room
Nurse: Doctor, Mr Roberts is here for Brain Surgery
Doctor: Good good, fire up the Robotic Arm....going in...[Thoughts]Cut just a little more, move left a wee bit, oh blood vessel..very careful PORN NAKED CHICKS[/thoughts] Shit! I hit a major vessel!!!


Airline Cockpit
Control Tower: Flight 156, you are clear to Land
Pilot: Roger Tower..[Thoughts]Gear Down...Flaps down, watch descent rate PORN NAKED CHICKS[/Thoughts] Shit! We're going to crash Mayday! Mayday!

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight....

 

[techs]

This gives a whole new meaning to the term "BSOD"

You're all forgetting the Law of Accelerating Returns which will be the main reason why in 2020 there will be so many technological advances, that those same advances will create NEW incredible technological advances in a very short time, therefore reaching the Singularity in practically no time.

 

[Modular]

I'm not drinking this Kool-Aid

 

[Punter]

You will be assimilated.

 

[hiromizu]

I'll bet that it's really designed to control YOU.

 

[surfsatwerk]

Back in my day the only chips we had in our brains were issued by the government for the purposes of mind control, and that's the way it was and we liked it.

This. There's no way I'm putting something from Intel in my brain. All of a sudden no one will be buying AMD chips, and everyone will be upgrading their Intel processors every 30 days. No thanks!

 

[Modelworks]

If they put a chip in the brain does that mean we can take tamaflu for viruses ?

fail


Do people still read PA?

That shit jumped the shark years ago...

So... when will I get rocket packs and flying cars??

I have almost the exact same gaming tastes as Tycho, so I check it out to see how he feels about new games. It's a much better source for a review than any other website for me.

 

[Q]

No they won't.
