There has probably been a hundred sci fi movies or books featuring computerized implants in the nervous system. The problem is that in sci fi the chips take over the human body and kill everyone for dramatic effect. The reality is that a chip can't take over your brain unless it's artificially intelligent, and no one would be dumb enough to stick an AI in their neck. Am I saying there wouldn't be dangers? No! There's still the problem of hackers or totalitarian governments, but for now let's just daydream about the applications, not the ethics. Like every advancement, where there is a high potential for loss, there is a high potential for gain. Think of how much cooler your iPhones would be plugged into your brain! The same old technology (maybe some improvements) with the ultimate interface. Neither touchscreen, buttons, or even seri have anything on this; you can type with your mind and see google maps through your own eyes. If you have a cold your implant can tell your sinuses to stop making mucus. Fatal allergy? I have an app to fix that. And the apex of this technology: all the knowledge the internet or downloadable sources have to offer permanently edged into your short term memory. Speaking of memory, I would like an identical one please. Oh cool, there's a 30 day trial for free on iTunes.
Share some applications you see in this, or elaborate on mine.
