The first thing I thought when I saw this was: "Oh shit- now nothing is private." Don't get me wrong- it's amazing stuff, and I'm all for the advancements it can bring. But the mind really is the last bastion of privacy in our increasingly policed world. Think about it: 1) When you make a call, it can be logged and recorded. 2) When you walk into a bank (or a million other locations), your actions are on camera. 3) When you visit a site, your IP address, as well as other information, is logged. Almost everything is monitored. Granted the advancement of technology has brought FAR more benefits than costs, but sometimes I wonder what it would be like to live in the 1800s, when you could do something and not have to worry about your actions being "logged" to some eternal database. Of course, it's fairly easy to control actions. Don't send really personal stuff via email, don't scratch your crotch in front of a security camera. But when it comes to thoughts, it's a different story. Try not thinking about something, and you'll find you can't do it. I'm sure every single person in this world has had thoughts he/she would not want to reveal. But I'm getting ahead of myself. It will probably be a while before we have to seriously worry about the implications of this technology.
