By the year 2020, you won't need a keyboard and mouse to control your computer, say Intel Corp. researchers. Instead, users will open documents and surf the Web using nothing more than their brain waves.

"We're trying to prove you can do interesting things with brain waves," said Pomerleau. "Eventually people may be willing to be more committed ... to brain implants. Imagine being able to surf the Web with the power of your thoughts."
Sounds a bit scary to me...

Definitely not. It will cause too many problems and I was born a human, not a robot or computer.

Don't blame you one bit, I wouldn't either. The inherent problem is, those who do will outperform those who don't and get all the benefits associated with their artificial boost in productivity ↓

Well we don't for sure know what will happen. The idea is beyond strange that someone would willingly go to see a doctor and have their head cut open to put in a chip.

No their bosses will, the employee will be lucky just to make ends meet.

I would rather be beheaded than to have a computer chip implanted inside my head.
#7 - Sat Nov 21, 2009 1:19 PM ESTI am sure that somebody somewhere (particularly an advanced version of Echelon) would have the capability to hack into your head using these computer chips, no matter how many protective firewalls you use, and be able to constantly monitor your thoughts and actions. If you think someone watching your every move on your computer is bad enough, try having someone inside your head 24/7; especially, if you cannot override their monitoring privileges.

You will be able to make calls from anywhere, they will probably engineer it to run off your bodys voltage or ambient radio wave energy... The downside would be privacy concerns but most of those already exist with current technology.

I'm not sure that people will accept a chip in their brains... but I'll bet a bundle on a transceiver in a tooth!
