Pretty cool. I cant wait for bio-hardware to become the norm. The day of a laptop that has never ending storage that self heals (assuming there are no nasty laptop eating viruses/bacteria around) could be very handy.
- stdbrouw 15y agoNever-ending storage that self-heals... sounds a lot like cloud storage, innit? :-)
- seanp2k2 15y agoWe're actually building a giant brain; the Internet /is/ a global collective consciousness. You should check out Serial Experiments Lain and Eden of the East :)
- im3w1l 15y agoI would say that we had a global collective consciousness even before. Not to say that everything is not working much faster and beter.
- batista 15y agoWe're actually building a giant brain; the Internet /is/ a global collective consciousness. Well, we WERE building a global collective consciousness in the form of the internet, but the World Wide Web, and especially cat videos, put an end to it.
- MichaelApproved 15y agoOr what if, instead of connecting biochemical to hardware, you connect hardware to your biochemical body. Add wifi and you're connected to everything, anytime you want.
- kenrikm 15y agoExactly - you just need to think "What's the square root of 459683" this queries the internet returns the result and the answer is instantly relayed to your mind. Just imagine you could think (open the garage door) and it would happen.
- verelo 15y agoafter some of the days i feel we all go though, it concerns me that people might know how many times i wanted to stab someone... lets shelve this, we're already failing at online privacy...this wont help...unless i can think "this is a private thought" and it actually be private haha
- MichaelApproved 15y agoI'd say everything is private by default and we actively have to make something public. Like sand boxing. Oh man, never mind.
- icebraining 15y agoHaving to formulate the query is too primitive ;) When you need to know the result, the brain probably does a memory "lookup" subconsciously (if I see e.g. 3x3, I know the result without having to calculate it), so that could be routed through the digital system and the result returned as if it was a memory. You'd just "know".
- pavanky 15y agoPrepare to be assimilated. Resistance is futile! -- On a serious note, I love the technology like any other guy. But there will be this nagging issues about privacy. We would need to give up some parts of our lives, but who draws the line and where..
- Game_Ender 15y agoI am more concerned about the inevitable bugs, and failures that anything has. Except now it's brain connected to my brain.
- MichaelApproved 15y agoBut you can turn a hard drive off and stop having to feed it power, then come back to it months later to recover the data. You can't stop feeding biohardware, it would decay and decompose.
- verelo 15y agoSounds like the idea recycling program to me! haha
- pavanky 15y agoDo you want a laptop that remembers what you want or that _approximately_ remembers what you want ? Photos, Movies and songs may make good storage media for bio-hardware, but documents and other information critical stuff can not be replaced by biology.
