Not going to post anything about it just to piss people off.

Old news, this was possible about 6 years ago. Personally I think ANYONE who would do this needs to have their head examined.

Well, for some people, I think it could be night and day towards improving their life. Someone who's had their neck broken, paralyzed in all 4 limbs, can now freely navigate the web and use a computer. Hell, wonder if it would work for someone like Stephen Hawking, to maybe let him communicate better, and have better access to other people's research to help him with his own.

For normal people though, yeah, it's kinda a freaky idea.

anybody else get the willies when keanu reeves would reach back behind his head and you'd get the full on detailed shot of the skull plug thing?

In Johnny Pheunomic or The Matrix?

[Tuggan]

the matrix, shortly after hes released from the machines.

[Martrae]

Yes, that idea was also the reason The Neuromancer (the book) gave me the willies.

I once knew this guy that was totally convinced that he was in the matrix and he spent a whole night piching himself wondering if he would wake up.

I think ANYONE who would do this needs to have their head examined.

The system requires a surgeon to drill a hole in the patient's head and implant a chip on the surface of the brain area responsible for moving arms and hands.

Duh, Paul!

a neural net of some sort is probably the best way to go, chummer
