Hell yea Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence." We can never shed our sins and regrets, only accumulate more, a burden that we grow and carry until our deaths. The best we can do is learn to live with ourselves, to accommodate our pasts |

To the junkyard you go... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 34607000 Imagine if you will, such an implant thing becoming sophisticated enough that you can read webpages with it. Imagine if you will, being able to read and post on GLP simply by thinking about it. Being able to send/receive texts just by thinking about it. Being able to store your personal data inside your own head, instead of on some corporate owned cloud or home PC Being able to access all the knowledge of the world just by thinking about it. Details step by step instructions for anything and everything instantly available to your brain. That would be a pretty big bootstrap augmentation for many many people! Well these things have been in sci-fi novels for decades, not much more sinister than the comm-pads that did all this stuff, such as in star trek, which have now come to life in the form of the tablet pc |

AMAZING! |

We'll make little "preserve" villages for the pure-animal human faction, like the indian preserves, you know? Like little enclosed amish communities ya! |

Infrared sensing could be built into the suit to inform the person inside about where their limbs are and to help them "feel" objects. :spyda: |

The age of the cyborgs is coming my friends. You all will be faced with a hard choice. Will u keep up with societe by enhancing ur brain, but loose ur humanity and disconnect from ur true inner powers @ the same time, or stay boring and acheive those goals trough hard work and meditation... Why are we always in search 4 the magic pill... Well i'm definitely choosing to leave my brain the way god intented thank you. Think about it, nature is ALWAYS more efficiant than anything we will ever build. So while the pll who choose the implants will only limit their powers, mine will keep growing... Maybe @ a slower rate but when i finally reach their levels, they will be stuck there until the technologie becomes better, i'll keep growing. No one will control my evolution but me. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 34230921 United Kingdom 02/17/2013 10:57 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Scientists have created a "sixth sense" by creating a brain implant through which infrared light can be detected. Quoting: omar Although the light could not be seen lab rats were able to detect it via electrodes in the part of the brain responsible for their sense of touch. Similar devices have previously been used to make up for lost capabilities, for example giving paralysed patients the ability to move a cursor around the screen with their thoughts. [link to www.telegraph.co.uk] We already got cameras to detect them. You dont need an implant. Its easy to make diy IR detector, i sense something sinister |
