you kidding me? did you read the article and the Harvard study directly?

if "primitive" you mean in relation to the direct matrix like consciousness-interfacing that will evolve from this tech.

It's a kin to to the discovery of the first wheel, first computer, first internet connection. We will look back on this one day and say this was what kicked it all off.

This is ground breaking stuff!!!!!

Great. Now they can just take over my body and make me accept the mark of the beast. Just wonderful. F***ING AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >:/

I'd like to get me one of these devices. The wife needs to get up and get me another beer.

Seriously though - what good can come from this? Making an animal ot human do anything against their will is pretty messed up evil big time.

Had to star and flag the original!

Why manufacture a body when you can grow one?
The ramifications are chilling.

-Nanobot infection deactivates the conscious mind and activating the manual override.

Bodies being rented (Slave trade)
Paraplegics walking around in vegetables body (Source Pop culture X-men Xavier did it with Telepathy)
Remote assassins (If this has not happened already)
Mind memories uploaded to computer could be accessed and use the interface on a clone body. Deep space travel.
Clone wars.
To take someones free will in this way human or animal horrifies me.

requoted your whole post because I thought it so important. And the key words, amongst many you have written, are, if it hasn't happened already.
I am frankly amazed that people don't seem very concerned about this. Even think the whole idea behind all this is a good one....

When I mentioned this thread to my husband, he told me about this experiment with cockroaches he had heard about. Cockroaches Strapped With Steering Wheels

Careful, JP. Better check your head every morning for any attachments, or you might find yourself with a toilet brush in your hand instead of a beer.

Cool I just saw this on Doctor Who last nite, technology flys fast
