Tu n'est pas, de robot.

Clay and I, were talking about things we take for granted [like refrigeration, and grocery stores], and got to talking about future technologies. It reminded me of this show on Discovery, called 'Robo Sapien'. It's pretty interesting, and scary. If it comes on again, you should check it out.

'In 1998, scientists developed the first neural interface ever implanted into a human brain. Since then neural-interface technology and procedures have evolved to allow a paraplegic patient, Matt Nagle, to control a computer directly with his thoughts. Over time, the neural interface became an extension of his body, allowing him to write emails and surf the Web using only his mind.

The incredible technological advancements being made in neuro-engineering may one day make the paralyzed walk again, replace limbs for amputees and even give speech back to those who have lost their voice.

As more engineers and computer scientists are attracted to this discipline, possibilities for the future become more and more real as the advancing technology pushes boundaries that were seemingly unattainable.

Could humans one day communicate telepathically, cure depression and other psychological disorders, access the Internet or extend human memory all by inserting microchips into the brain?

As the technology evolves, these questions seem less like science fiction and more like reality.'
