The Cyborg in All of Us

This article talks about connecting technology to neurons, so that people who’ve lost much mobility can still interact with day-to-day life. It mainly concerns imagined speech. For example, if a person hooked up thought of a word, then the cursor on screen would react to that thought. It would also speed up life in general, especially with writing digitally. Instead of physically typing, the devices in the brain would connect the person’s thoughts to the computer and would only have to think about words, and the computer would ‘type’ out what the person is thinking.

How far do you think this will advance? Do you think normal, healthy people will start demanding implants of their own to gain advantages in life?
