This technology definitely does not make me scared, as it does to my sister; I mean “freaky” simply that we are seeing science fiction in action. I am a huge sci-fi fan and have for years, seeing this type of technology in action is really cool…
I actually agree with you, I do not think we should hide under a rock and destroy all technology. The possible benefits of this technology far out ways the possible detriments
For example, I did a research project on Professor Warwick, some of his possible hopes for this technology are:
Sending and Receiving Nerve Impulses from a device implanted on a nerve through Radio Waves to another device receiving these radio waves.
- that was the idea for this experiment in the article I linked to.
The possible idea from this would be some type of interface to a computer, I mean right know we are limited to a physical interface. I can hardly imagine a interface limited only to how fast I can think, (might be little faster than my typing

) If you knew me, I would definitely be the first person in line to receive this technology.
This type of invasive body surgery definitely brings up the worst fears in us all. Cloning for example is on the head front of this new “Frankenstein” fear. There is a really good book, called Frankenstein and something, I can’t remember. The author actually goes through and shows how “Frankenstein” movies and ideas have actually forced scientist to modify their research down a specific path.
Oh, cry “borg” that pretty funny……… LOL
