Artificial organs and robotic limbs are two strong pieces of evidence that we are about to merge with our technologies. An entirely new world is about to be opened up when the brain is connected to our electronic devices. A world where everything will be -closer- than the finger tips.

The Human Onboard Computer
The brain will become connected to computers and will allow people to have all knowledge on the tip of the tounge. The concept of "photographic memory" could become meaningless and memory will not be such a predominant factor in education. Download a career and then let it make your body move as if you have been doing these complex skill for years. When the blind and deaf can see and hear, with the help of man
made devices, we will begin to become one with our technologies. When they have superiour sensory perception, than normal humans, everyone will want one. And thus, will begin, -The Interface Craze-. |

The Blanket: A thin flexible sheet of computers that will cover the entire outer brain just underneath the skull bone. It will consist of 1000s of fibers which will be able to pass electricity either to or from it's targeted nerve cell. Mixed with these fibers will be 1000s of micro-cell-phone-like devices which will be able to recieve or transmit electromagnetic radiation. |

Cyber Neural Crime
Once the skull bone is replaced with microchips, that connect with the brain, we will begin to enter a world where we will be literally connected to each other. We will send more and more of ourselves to each other when we engage in simple communication. We may learn how to read each other's minds, play back any time in our lives as in re-living it as entertainment. How will entertainment change when the viewer experiences the event from the protagonist's (experience)?
An entire realm of crime will emerge in which people can use leaks, that slip out during normal communication, for their own profit. A sort of possension could take place when we learn how to travel within each other. Troubling times could be just around the corner.
Mood Ware
Once we run our fibers down into the brain we may contact parts of ourselves that will allow us to stimulate moods and emotions. What will happen when any controlled substance can be mimicked by electrical patterns? How will we veiw sex when orgasm can be had with the flick of a switch? Mood control will take on an entirely new meaning when a person can wake up in the morning and feel like the night before.
Those parts of the brain brain involved in the development of moral reasoning should become interconnected into the system.

The Inner Police
We need some sort of enforcement system, The Inner Police, that will allow people to think anything they want but when they try and move their limbs in a way that will harm others, that motion will not take place. Nerve impulses, from the brain to certain muscles, which would cause the harmfull act, will be blocked. A crime free society could become a possibility. As onboard defense systems continue to shrink the individual may not have much control over the firepower released when his or her's bodily space is threatened.
Big Bro ther-Little Brother, the entire government could dissapear from the land and reside just beneath the skull. Privacy and personal papers will take on extreme meanings with access to thoughts and memories regulated by the host. An onboard mechanism which will know ALL of your secrets and intentions. Unlike Big Brother, Little Brother will not be able to reveal this information to anyone. It will be un-hackable and will not allow you to harm others. |

Mind Read
Since the origin of the human race we have been trapped alone and life has had this, seemingly insurmountable, mystery, attached to it. What would happen if we solved it and glimsped, for the first time across this barrier and learned what it was like to be inside of someone else? People will begin to communicate without speaking out loud, instead they will broadcast their thoughts to one another. Telepathy will become an everyday experience since the nerve impulses, normally sent to the muscles of the voice box, will be sent directly to the listener's brain that normally translates heard sounds. |

The Great Migration
There will be a "Great Migration" from human to robot; Cyborg. Will we become robots or will robots become us? Will we have to fight with the robots to gain a safe place where our souls can reside? We are setting out on a journey out of these bodies and they may slowly become -left behind-.
