How many old laws do we now lament for their lack of foresight or for having been written in a time well before technology like today's could have even been imagined?
Here we have the opportunity to do the opposite. It is inevitable, given the trends in technology, that we will someday be able to directly integrate computing devices into our minds in some way. Perhaps we would use them to store memories themselves, or offload the processing of difficult thoughts or problems. It's hard to say, but if you can imagine controlling a smartphone or computer with only your mind then it's not too hard to imagine all the other potential uses.
We have the opportunity to get it right, here and now. Let's not waste it.
