WIRE YOUR CELL PHONE TO YOUR BRAIN? WHY NOT?









The idea of cell phones has been around since the 1940’s when Dick Tracy used his wrist phone to apprehend criminals.





There was Maxwell Smart and his shoe phone,






 and Star Wars and the flip-phone.






Practical cell phones came around after 2000, and for the last twenty years phones have become more innovative and more popular; and now a cell phone is probably the most important object that everyone owns. 
   

Elementary school kids carry cell phones; and teenagers and young adults would be dysfunctional without their phones.


Being and old man from the days of telephones that were connected by telephone operators, I often joke that if people could they would have their phones embedded in their brains.



Now that is not so far fetched.
 

A company formed by Elon Musk is developing a devise that connects your brain to a smartphone.




  Dozens of wire implants will be connected to a transmitter that tucks behind the ear like a hearing aid and transmits signals to your computer or smart phone. 





This is not a new idea, as scientist have been testing brain implants on paralyzed patients, allowing them to move computer cursors and robotic arms.






But now, Musk predicts he will have a telepathy device for healthy people within a decade. 


Do you really think that young people will not line up for 24/7 cell phone implants? 


   I have no doubt that within fifty years everyone will be a walking cell phone.

  1. It's sad to think that iPhones are dumbing down humans at a fast pace and with the thought of phone implants it's getting to the point where you wonder what is going to happen the human race if we survive another 1000 years.

COMMENT: Ben Franklin said, "I imagine a man must have a good deal of vanity who believes, and a good deal of boldness who affirms, that all doctrines he holds are true, and all he rejects are false."
