Do you believe they implant us with micro chips?

I believe it probably will happen - probably within my lifetime, but isn't happening yet.

Nope, someday when they have squeezed as much money inching along everyone one processor at a time, someone will come out with holographic lightspeed processors.

Yes, Beware of your Computer Chip that will be Implanted the next time you go to the Hospital!

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

They havent yet. Not in the usefull sense. However, I know scientists are sucessfull in creating components for nanobots. They've created ultra small engines, switches, transistors, wires, etc. The tecnological hurdle as I understand it is that 'connecting' these devices are really tricky.

Did you ever stop to think, maybe it isn't microprocessors that are the next step in evolution, but plastics. Our brains are supposed to have 100 billion neurons. We could make a plastic structure with 100 billion interconections (cross-linked polymer molecules) a lot sooner than a chip with 100 billion transistors. So, be nice to plastics-- they might be throwing us out tomorrow.

in a way it already is; think about it, you have to use your SS # for almost everything; chips have been invented that can be inserted into your skin that works the same as a CC; Dogs and cats can have ID's inserted into them w/ the same kinda chip technology.  It will just come to the point where you have to have a chip or ID to buy things.  It will happen and it will be very very very subtle.

It is not a speculation...Its been announced and its confirmed. Apparently, intel chips are more "cooler" then IBM's power pc.

Yes, VeriChip is the maker of the chip for humans. The chip contains your medical info, has GPS, and contains credit information as well. The sister company is Digital Angel, which deals with chips in pets. And the stock is cheap right now.

Maybe we should all do a little research before blindly answering questions.\n\nActually, the answer to your question is yes.  \n\nIt was first conceived in the 1990's at MIT, but the idea never resulted in a product because of superior emerging wireless technologies like bluetooth.\n\nNTT is now trying to make some products with it.  Their technology, called RedTacton Human Area Network, sends a 5V pulse along the surface of the body and purports to transfer data at 10Mbps.  See below sources for more information.\n\nMany people are skeptical as to whether it can compete with wireless technologies.

think light projection. Bulky monitors and even plasma will be old fashioned, we'll simply beam our output onto a surface and work away. Maybe even the keyboard will be projected on the table in front of us.

It depends on what the microchip does, if its used in treating any illness or assists with any disabilities, eg: a implantable microprocessor that would aid the deaf in hearing, I am all for it. If its for vanity or biological enhancment or human tracking, no way. We are not canned products to be barcoded and categorised.

it is possibile but not with the technology we posess today

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").

for what? there are so many microprocessors that your question cant be answered. be more specific in your question.

Reminds me of the old phrase: Guns don't kill people, bullets kill people. Well, implanted chips don't violate civil liberties, ....\n\nAs with just about any technology, it is a great idea until it is abused. And the potential for abuse is unending. That being said, if someone had to choose between being locked up for no valid reason, and being implanted with a chip that monitors their every movement for no valid reason..... Big Brother is here and he's brought some friends.

I can see how it could happen. There are artificial intelligence programs that do get smarter over time. But as for physical evolution... maybe in the future.
