Buckshot Bob Posted February 20, 2024 Share Posted February 20, 2024 It might be the next step in curing human ailments, or the next step in control. I have cochlear implants , and am glad the technology exists. It’s not as good as hearing naturally was but it sure beats being deaf. Someday in the near future Steve Austin the 6 million dollar man may go from fantasy to reality. I see it as a good thing until someone abuses it.

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted February 20, 2024 Share Posted February 20, 2024 I met a guy who had locked-in syndrome, it could help him and others like him for sure. But I don’t have a good feeling about it for humans in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot Posted February 21, 2024 Share Posted February 21, 2024 I tried reading the article but after paragraph one a little bar said “Continue reading in the app”. I tried using my mental abilities to continue but it wouldn’t happen…just like the concept of me putting a piece of electronics in my brain. It wouldn’t happen.
