Buckshot Bob Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 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. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 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.
