Interesting Gary yeah I’ve never been interested in that field but I’m sure they’re working on it in some underground lair.

I read some info on James Cameron’s Avatar film and there’s some of that tech in the story.

“In the future mankind uses technology to create clones and then downloads the memories of other people into them…”
Avatar,,, rated PG-13 !!!!!!

Personally with the way things are headed I’m not sure that ordinary people are going to see that benefit as long as elites run things. The treatment would be more than liky kept under military secrecy.

@Gary I think that’s a big YES to your question. The air force already uses neural interfacing.

Just today I was reading about a company called “Proteus Biomedical” that has developed a edible microchip that’s activated by stomach acid and uses exterior equipment to monitor medication levels in the body…

The problem with the technology is that its developing too fast. A lot of this technology, in the long run could cause heath damage. We have yet to see the full impact of cell phone use on teenage women…
Cigarettes weren’t considered unhealthy for years…

Just wanted to clarify ,
the BMI Technology was kind of what I was talking about but I
was really thinking about interface with a massive computer system.
Like Skynet ,but we would be interacting with each other.
BMI does have some intruiging possibilties though .
would we someday be able to transfer human consciousness into a robot body?
or at least imprint a human personality onto a robot?

Excellent article Bruce.
what I am curious about Is
Will the human mind be able to interface with computers one day?
Today, Computers are minaturized .
They can fit into your cellphone.
Computers have mastered the external world.
The internal world is next .

My father (R.I.P.) used to ride solo shotgun if F102 Delta Daggers just to be in the cockpit in case anything went wrong from the ground.

Do the math on that one, as I blast myself with Half-Penny, Two Penny.

As I found myself oddly humming the lyrics to Come Sail Away, I remembered a Navy friend of mine told me that (the Navy) has a completely automated battleship. Of course its controlled by humans on shore but if supposedly if its attacked it can act on its own and is really pretty much controlled by a powerful on board AI system. Its big too, Destroyer size.

So you are a smartass robot head that doesn’t want to live for ever… Interesting juxtaposition there 790.

Loved the article.

Most of the people I associate with do not take the time to consider the what if aspects of the movies they go to see. I will definietly be sending them the link to this article.

Job well done.
