RE: How Brain Implants Could Give Us Superhuman Abilities

in #technology7 years ago (edited)

Count me out. Governments and corporations with literally trillions of dollars at their disposal can't keep their own systems secure. Guarantee any and all of this tech will be absolutely insecure voluntarily or involuntarily. Oh yeah, you've also got organizations like the NSA and CIA that Snowden has taught us about.

It will never be a good idea to put an implant in your brain that can interface (interfere) with your thoughts and senses while connected to the internet. If you're worried about Big Brother and surveillance today, today will look like the stone age if implants gain critical mass.

Sort:  

That's a very good point of view and I totally agree that it will make humans hackable. Pretty scary indeed!

Hi if I can jump into this conversation. The implants will be nanobots which will be approximately the size of blood cells. They will work in swarms - for example - they will go into the blood brain barrier in millions and clamp onto individual brain cells. They will be able to transmit whether a neuron has activated and they may also be able to activate a neuron - that is they will be able to monitor and control!

Also you might say I refuse this however they can be transmitted by mosquitoes!! Bill G is always talking about transmitting vaccines by mosquito.

They might also be based on viruses which can self replicate using human cells.

Sure - count me out too - but it's not that simple.

Another thing is that if everyone gets implants they might be many times better at their job in terms of quality and quantity. So if you don't get the implants you might not be a profitable employee.

Just putting some of the ideas out there.
