Cyborgs!

I read an article this morning on BBC News titled, Brain sensor allows mind-control. It was a facinating article about a paralysed man who has had a small chip implanted in his brain. He has used this chip to interact with his computer, play video games, send email.

The scientists working on this are doing some amazing stuff. They hope to one day use this technology to actually help paralysed individuals use their bodies again!

I wish I could use my computer using only my mind. My wrists would be so happy.

This could actually benefit people, no question about it. Unlike the MP3 breast implants discussed in this article Coming soon: the mp3 breast implant. I must admit its a facinating thought. But really an Iboobie, is this something the world needs?
