Do YOU want one? The Internet Brain Implant: Why We Should Say No This Fall pollsters Zogby International released the results of a survey that asked nearly 10,000 US adults the following question. "How likely would you be to implant a device into your brain that enabled you to use your mind to access the internet if it could be done safely?" 11% of respondents said they were very or somewhat likely to do so... I've talked to a lot of people in the internet industry about this survey since then and have found an even higher percentage of people who say they are interested in a web enabled brain implant. Let's discuss this sooner rather than later, shall we? * "Privacy is an illusion" is today still hyperbole It's common for web-boosters today to assure us that "privacy is an illusion" because you can't do anything online any more that isn't discoverable by search, etc. This is pure hyperbole. Privacy is one of the biggest drivers of some of the hottest social networks online, including to some degree Facebook. Fortunately, our thoughts remain our own. There is no guarantee of this once the hardware crosses a membrane, however. It's one thing to share our thoughts via collaboration tools and online self expression - but that needs to be done one thought at a time, in circumstances of our own choosing. Losing whatever degree of control over our own minds that we do have isn't something I feel the need to critique explicitly. [link to www.readwriteweb.com] I am a Christian.

Do YOU want one? What gives me the creep is this - there are people who would agree to have a brain implant !! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 971898MANY. Brain implants, often referred to as neural implants, are technological devices that connect directly to a biological subject's brain - usually placed on the surface of the brain, or attached to the brain's cortex. A common purpose of modern brain implants and the focus of much current research is establishing a biomedical prosthesis circumventing areas in the brain, which became dysfunctional after a stroke or other head injuries. This includes sensory substitution, e.g. in vision. Brain implants involve creating interfaces between neural systems and computer chips, popularly called brain-machine interfaces.

Do YOU want one? Back in the 1980's when they started tagging pets with electronic chips I already foresee this development. Things always start so innocently. Back then, the "Pet Implant" was to "help the pet owners identify their pets". So many of them pet owners were like elated, woo hoo, something that will help re-unite me and my pet. But they forgot one thing - what started with pets may end up in us. And now Intel is giving strong hints on Brain Implant. It's much much more than mere tagging, and yes, there are people, totally healthy people, who would agree to have their skull cracked and something inserted into their brains. Totally creepy ! |
