Intel: Chips in brains will control computers by 2020
News Type: Event — Seeded on Fri Nov 20, 2009 7:25 AM EST
Article Source: Computerworldadvertisement
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.

What's this?
Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

"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...

"You could compose characters or words by thinking about letters flashing on the screen or typing whole words rather than their individual characters."

So, I guess you don't want that chip in your brain, huh?

hamid.nyc--
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.

A chip in our brains? Wouldn't today's fawning, slobbering Obamabots LOVE to expand on this idea. Just picture it: A key is pressed. . . and you are driven to vote the Democratic Ticket in 2012. . . or face a searing jolt of electricity in your temporal lobe.

That's the spirit. It can't be any worse than the chip the aliens implanted in me during my last abduction...

I would rather be beheaded than to have a computer chip implanted inside my head.

I 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.

Its only a matter of time... I bet in 20 years they have a cell phone they can implant in your head, a satellite one. 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.

Back in the mid-1980s, Orson Scott Card created a most fascinating character named Jane, an artificial, disembodied intelligence, who conversed with humans through the computer portal that they all have in one of their teeth.
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!
