Question of the week for Week2, 1/14/08-1/18/08

[The question of the week should be at least 200 words. It is due by 5:00 PM on Friday.]

Question: Would you want to be able to control a robot or computer just with your thoughts, even if it meant having a brain implant to connect you to a computer and the Internet?

Background: In the 1995 movie, Johnny Mnemonic, Keneau Reeves plays the role of a futuristic courier who plugs into a computer via a socket behind his ear. See http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1800238822/info for more info on the movie. A monkey in North Carolina can control a robot in Japan with her thoughts through brain implants. So far fetched? Well, it's happening now. See http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1800238822/info.
