Its easy to make diy IR detector, i sense something sinister Quoting: Anonymous Coward 34230921 That's right, lugging around a massive backpack of technical gear and having giant cameras hanging off your head while wearing some kind of helmet is really better than a little computer hooked up to your mechanical but otherwise normal looking eyes, from the inside of your head. Which would you prefer? Looking like a freak, or looking like everyone else, perfectly normal? |

Amy_A User ID: 16982804 United States 02/17/2013 11:53 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Tats great 4 ppl with disabilities and all, but in a few years when sht like this hits the mainstream, everybody will want 2 enhance their human capabilities i'm sure of it... 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... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27932711 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. Great insight. Have you noticed all the talk about these enhanced capabilities coming to us soon through man made products such as chips and upgrades? They know that humans are starting to get DNA upgrades by God and they want to stop those natural upgrades by offering some man made BS. I am sure the chips will work great at first but what will they also be programmed to do. I imagine our natural upgrades will be disabled so we will remain pawns in the game. They put metal in my spine years ago and I regret it each day. The metal creates interference in our very sophisticated electric system. Peace Amy |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 3015251 United States 02/17/2013 12:08 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My Sister-in-law had Parkinson's disease. It was advancing to the point that she was unable to function and medication was having little effect. She agreed to an experimental brain implant that was to reduce or possibly eliminate the shaking. Well, things did not go at all as expected. Not long after being implanted she started to exhibit irrational and violent behavior. It would come in episodes, where she would be normal for a while and then erratic. As time went by the erratic behavior became longer lived and more violent, to the point that she all but destroyed her carousel horse collection, which was her pride and joy, as well as being down right mean to everyone around her. From what little I observed, it was very similar to the effects of Alzheimer's disease, of which I have some experience through a family member. Not too long before her death, during one of her lucid moments, she broke down into tears and told her husband that during her erratic times she was inside watching herself doing these things, yet was unable to stop herself. It was as if something else were driving her body and she just stood by helpless to stop it. She felt guilt and remorse at her actions and was basically asking for forgiveness. She died not too long after. For me, just imagining this type of situation is enough for me to not want anything implanted in my brain. If I ever happen to be in a situation similar to her's I might think differently, or I might be a bit more accepting of my situation considering the possible alternative. |
