When is it coming? We have finger to text and voice to text. When will we have thought to text? Just look at your screen and the characters appear.

Too complex. There are several thoughts happening in the brain at the same time, how is the machine supposed to know which to pick?

^^^ In a closing scene of The Wild, Wild West, after Artie and Jim had tangled with the evil Dr. Loveless, Artie said something to the effect of ' you know he thought he could send moving pictures through the air and catch them in a box?'

They figured that out.

Development of thought to txt is coming, I'd say mid-time frame, ~ 25 yrs. However the real challenge is how to delete by thought .
Apparently one cannot un-think it.

That's the last thing I would ever want. It was bad enough when all the slackers discovered the internet back in the day, worse when they had social media sites to vegetate on and spread nonsense, but imagine if every dumb*** who can't bother to learn to type or even lift their fingers to do so, could go on and on filling every corner of the internet with sewage effortlessly by just having some neural link helmet on.

Reading these forums would certainly be more entertaining.

In reality, I need the thought to fingertips to filter what I'm actually thinking about some people.
