Hey UR, you better patent the term NUI real quick ;)

:D:D Yeah I'd like to, trying to work out how. Great article Wacky. What an awesome thing for people in that condition.

I saw a TV story about a scientist and his wife who had experimental neural comms implants. Apparently they were able to think various thoughts or concepts or feelings to each other with practice.

I'm just going to go ahead and say that this technology and computergames combined, will replace drugs.

Everything we sense are just electrical impulses being sent to our big sponge.
I can maybe imagine playing a game in full 3d in our brains, but not replacing something as beautiful as making Love to your spouse.

[unacceptable_risk]

Even thats electric. :D And I agree, some things should be special. But I think the porn industry is going to go nuts.

I wonder if we will ever develop this sort of tech to the point where you can upload info into your mind ala Matrix.

[Flybye]

Honesetly, I don't see why not.
Just think the advances we could make in space travel if we had 10,000 Phd scientists and engineers working on a ship.

But few things that will always remain...stupiditiness, the shear lack of commonsense and bad parenting LOL.

[WackyComputer]

Just take the kids with bad parents and plug them into the good parenting program.
