DARPA has developed a program that uses brains to communicate

I've got some good news!

 

DARPA has developed a new program, it's called Neural Engineering System Design (NESD), which "stands to dramatically enhance research capabilities in neurotechnology and provide a foundation for new therapies", and probably, would allow to use our brains to comment, make updates, etc. on the MLP Forum.

Though it would take about two decades for it to actually be in the market and decently priced. Not to mention than full immersion virtual reality is going to be another add factor into all this, so we might not even need a screen with physical topics online anymore.

Sounds like a recipe for brain tumors.

It's nothing special yet. We've seen thought-guided equipment before.

 

Like it or not, as far science is concerned your brains are just electricity and chemistry which shoots out signals. Capture the signals and you have usable input for electronics.

 

But this technology is still in it's infancy, and lots of delicate equipment that still hasnt been thoroughly perfected is difficult to produce and is overpriced.

 

Only once we have a cheap manufacturing process and reliable components will we be able to use this technology in good capacity.

This is the kind of stuff I keep talking about. In a few decades something like this would be as normal as a smart phone is today. Hopefully its sooner rather than later.
