Researchers Develop Neuro-Chips

[Jimmy]

Ghost in the Shell seem a lot more plausible now.

I think this is pretty cool actually, though I did find it funny at the end of the article where it says they're working on a way to not damage the neurons during the process.

Discuss?

The problem is that everybody's brain is different. You'd have to find the "right place" to connect it to.

Won't be long before "Lil' Jimmy" gets a chip in his brain that'll stop him from groping classmates.  :)

Translation: Don't be an early adopter.

In fact, there are a TON of sci-fi things we may eventually invent you won't want to be an early adopter for: anti-gravity (smoosh!), teleportation (flies!), medical nanobots ("let's kill all the white blood cells"), DNA alteration (I'm now a man-pig!), and so on.

You just made me totally forget what I was going to say, and re-reading the article just makes me think of man-pigs. :P
