Sending Messages By Thought

"An pill-sized brain chip has allowed a quadriplegic man to check e-mail and play computer games using his thoughts. The device can tap into a hundred neurons at a time, and is the most sophisticated such implant tested in humans so far."
Imagine being able to send an email, answer an email all by thought:

They will use an electroencephalogram to read a patient's thoughts, can you imagine someone reading your thoughts?
I like the idea though of utilizing a computer or television by thought, amazing.

Holy crap. If this chip is made public, if it isn't already, it is going to create a lot of lazy people.

Correcting it?

I mean lazy people, new lazy people, not making already lazy people more lazy. You can't make them any lazier, cause they are already lazy. Get it?

Strange then that lazier is even a word...

Get it? No.

New lazy people? Im pretty sure this chip will target the same lazy people. The same people who sit in front of televisions all day.

Lucid Lunacy and surfup, can we please stop with the quotes inside quotes inside qoutes my eyes are hurting.!

I heard a different story about a seventy-something year old who got this chip and she was able to send messages for about seventy days before she died.
