Hi, my name is Tony I am a... Well you know.
Actually Tony is short for Antonio. I thought if you were reading this you should know, not that anybody really cares. Anyhow, I am a ferocious reader of science-fiction. I like to read. For many years I could remember every single book that I've read. Unfortunately, I cannot do so anymore. However, if I read a science article sometimes I can associate it with a science fiction book that I have read and I like to talk about it.
For example, here is the link to an article that I have recently read on the internet: http://www.theverge.com/2017/3/27/15077864/elon-musk-neuralink-brain-computer-interface-ai-cyborgs
Recently I have posted a blog on a book that I read called "Psychohistorical Crisis." without getting into too many details one aspect of the book has to do with the characters. They carry a device called a familiar, or a "fam" for short. I can't recall if it was a mechanical or an organic device. The purpose of the device is to be an addition to the natural organic brain; this device can learn and remember as well as do calculations to assist the normal brain. Sort of an advanced smartphone if you think about it. Anybody remember the old personal assistant? Something like that... attached to your brain.
If you commit a crime according to the novel you can have your "familiar" executed. Since your memory whether natural or artificially enhanced is a part of your personality the execution, therefore, is like being given Alzheimer on purpose. Talk about cruel and unusual punishment.
I would very much like to use Elon Musk Neuralink. For people like me who has a neurological disorder where my memory is fragmented it will be a blessing, but like all technological advances, I am sure that this device will be used differently. Which makes me think now if the device is actually worth it or not.
What do you think?
Spoiler Alert! Buckle up for a desert journey like no other! In the vast expanse of cinematic adaptations, Villeneuve's Dune emerges as a monumental undertaking, spanning two epic installments that delve into the rich tapestry of Frank Herbert's iconic sci-fi saga. While paying homage to the source material, these films chart their own course, offering a visually stunning and thematically resonant exploration of power, prophecy, and the human condition. Part 1: Betrayal and Escape The journey begins with Duke Leto Atreides, a nobleman entrusted with the stewardship of Arrakis, a desert planet coveted for its reserves of the spice melange—a substance essential for space travel and coveted by factions across the universe. Accompanied by his son, Paul, and Lady Jessica, a member of the secretive Bene Gesserit sisterhood, Duke Leto embarks on a perilous mission to Arrakis. However, their arrival triggers a chain of events orchestrated by the insidious House Harkonnen and the shad
Humans 1.2 is what neural link is all about. A number of SF stories envision a neural plug at the base of the brain whereby a hard wired interface could be used to link the human brain with any number of electronic gadgets. While you desire is medical interference to be able to selectively enhance or degrade memories as a way to alleviate a brain disorder, the likely hood of any such application becoming real in the next few decades would be just wishful thinking. First this world system would concentrate on weaponizing this concept. And that will take decades.
