Why do I feel like this ends with Skynet coming online? We better start training Terminator-sniffing dogs... :laugh:

According to Scott Adams' definition, we are all already cyborgs. Deal with it.

As long as the limbs aren't able to do anything independently then I think it's awesome! As soon as they start to do stuff the controller doesn't want we must destroy them all before they take control.

We are living in the century that was the setting for most 80s/90s cyberpunk literature. If the fiction were a true reflection of our time, however, we wouldn't carry cellphones and some of us would have ports in our heads where we could plug in ethernet cables for direct access to a hallucinogenic realm of wired weirdness called cyberspace.

Thanks for sharing this, Jestor. Very cool. I've been keeping up with the research on bionic eyes, but hadn't yet heard about bionic hands! Bionic Commando? Robocop? Luke Skywalker? The Bionic Woman? Fiction becomes reality.

It's probably some sort of cocoon'ing instinct, with its nature reflecting our own complexity as organisms. Do we metamorphose or just nest instead!!?

this is only the beginning
one day we'll write in our journals by putting on our thinking caps

telepathic commands of technology

telepathic conversation

battles of wits

thought crimes

polygraph

seduction

yay

Change thinking cap to computer and you realize how close we are already, in fact, its here.

All the above is already done on the internet.

Certainly, it will become smaller, more efficient, to the point where it is a part of you in a more intimate sense, but that is a matter off degrees, rather than a far fetched things.

Espec

i dont know of it being here not but i was thinking of the day when you can wear a hat and if you think (in just the right way) about the refrigerator opening then the frig will open

i know we have voice commands which are a step below what im talking about and of course when we just get up and open the thing thats just a step below telling it to open but again im talking about like the scene on the movie screen changes as in response to what we think as we watch

with the proper electro magnetic fields and thoughtful use of the materials we use to build and manufacture things this technology will be the underpinnings of us interacting with the world the way magneto from x men does

by thinking about the metal content in his environment

its possible

those electric shock collars you can put on dogs that give em a jolt when they try to pass the perimeter?

yep

you can THINK your dog to get a jolt

THINK your doors to lock and car to start

imagine a day when we are required by law to wear thinking caps which record every single thought we have and streams it to the internet

ha!

imagine trying to keep a secret in a society like that
