InterConnected Brains: We turn into Human Cyborgs

Foer read that Apple had hired a leading expert in heads-up display — the transparent dashboards used by pilots. He wonders whether this means that Apple is developing an iPhone that would not require the use of fingers on keyboards. Ultimately, Foer imagines, the commands would come straight from your cerebral cortex. (Apple refused to comment.)

“This is the story of the next half-century,” Foer told me, “as we become effectively cyborgs.”

The subtitle of my blog is “One BIG realtime-enabled collective mind that will never forget. Anything.”

I actually don’t know if this is good or bad.
