Imagine a Computer Chip Implant W/all of a Humans Needs! When?

Just what I need, an opportunity to get Spam beamed directly into my brain. No thanks.

That doesn't exist. There is, however, nanotechnology. Read all about it...

I bet it will be nanomachines.  Microscopic machines that work at the molecular level will be crucial in the biomedical fields and in new tech innovations that we use everyday, like today cell phones.  Did you ever see that add for microsoft where it was in the near future and this girl was jogging and she got a video conference call from her dad over her sunglasses? He brought up schematics of art works he was thinking of buying and talking to her while she was jogging... well thats all going to be possible with molecular computers.  Unfortunately though, so will other really bad things, we'll just have to see how it goes.

a hybrid between biological/electronic technology enabling our brains to communicate directly with implanted computers, eventually in our own language. \n\nI also think anti-ageing genetic modification is on the horizon, but i fear this development. The slower people age, the longer they are going to live & our resources, both natural & financial are going to be stretched to breaking point.

Not yet, but that is the hope for the future. We hope to be able to create nano robots than can go in and repair our cells at the molecular level

Others have wondered whether or not downloading the contents of one's brain into an ultra-high-capacity chip would allow for the continuation of the consciousness. Arthur C. Clarke seems to think so. I'm not so sure, but it is an interesting Q.

No! No chip for me.  I've got nothing to hide, but what I fear is the whims of future leaders who may decide that controlling the people is the only way to keep order.  Ever heard of 1984?  The novel?

True artificial intelligence is probably not going to happen for a long time.  We still have a very imperfect idea of how the brain works except to say that it is probably quite different from how a computer works.  But even if we ever get to a computer that passes the Turing test which is the current standard for deciding whether a program is intelligent the next question would be: Is it really alive?  Would a so-called silicon life form have self awareness or consciousness or would it just be a machine going through the motions?\n\nOf course before we try to answer that we have to decide whether we humans are more than carbon based machines going through the motions.\n\nI think that before we replace ourselves with silicon minds we will find a way to enhance our bodies with artificial parts (think: a human brain and nervous system inside some sort of mechanical "body").

No way.  Once that microchip is inserted, you'll have absolutely no privacy for the rest of your life.

nanotechnology is working with microchips and tiny electrical stuff.

still waiting on it, but personally i think the next invention ( be it what ever it may be ) will further insulate society from one another like the current state of connectivity does right now. interesting isn't he, he we are on this board posting replies, when we could be outside... connecting.. with people.. and not text..

Approve stem cell research. This will be the next great technology. If we conceed this to off-shore interests, the game is over.

I've only heard of this once before with a friend of mine that is deaf, has carpal's tunnel and a million other medical problems.  I believe the chip just simply sends out electrical pulses, mimicing the brain-transfer part of your nervous system.

they already have this technology!  however, it's still in the testing stage and wont be out to the general public for at least 2 yrs, i believe.  however, the machine that does it have all these wires on ur HEAD so....i want to control my pc with my mind but i DONT want to wear that weird looking helmet with all those wires....\n\nJesus loves u :)

we already do. there are pacemakers, gps locator, and advanced limbs being used everyday.

it is already happening, pick up last months issue of wired, there is a whole slue or RFID tags out already, motorola just developed a medical implant the size of a grain of rice to be implanted with patient medical and family history as well as a tracker for new borns, the bad thing is that you can hack a RFID from over a few hundred feet away with a laptop.\n\nAlso the bible says that this is the mark of the beast.

Technology has more power than we think. <--- That would be a good topic.
