Default Re: what will you use this new technology for?

As I am not paralyzed....I won't use this technology for anything.

However, when they mass-market it for everyday use for everyone....changing channels on tv, surfing websites, turning on and off lights, etc.

For the record, I don't believe this technology is anywhere near mature, and we are talking 10-20 years from now. At that point, I doubt I care.

When they make one that I can use to control my wife then I will be interested.

Of course, playing video games would be pretty cool using thought power.

Waving my hand and opening doors (I know I can just think it open, but I like waving my hand..)
