Not being able tell the synthesized input isn't real, I think. Which is not a good target. It's what everyone will want though. Because a) find me a more generally scoped killer app in any class (translation: literally infinite VC money), and b) it'll be what the media focuses on because of the obvious controversy. And there will be tons of controversy. I picked up these tidbits years ago and have no sources, but I'm confident I'm quoting these correctly at least: - Experimental direct electrical stimulation to the pleasure center of the brain produced a response where the subject didn't want the stimulation to stop, and classed it as surpassing all other experiences - When monkeys were provided with a button that stimulated the sexually-related centers of the brain, all they did all day was push the button; the button had to be removed so they would eat and function normally So, unfortunately, the target the world will want to hit is several leagues beyond safe. The future will be fun...
