Welcome to Gaia! ::

Here's an interesting read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain-computer_interface

It talks about Brain-Computer Interface, or BCI, and how it can potentially restore sight to the blind, hearing to the deaf, and movement to the paralyzed.

It's also being talked about in entertainment (dubbed as 'neurotainment'), where gamers can control their characters/virtual avatars within a game/virtual world. Obviously, as a gamer, I am most interested in this >_>

I get excited about new technology that pertains to computers and robotics. The leaps and bounds that have been made in recent years is nothing short of astounding, and I can see these jumps continue to grow exponentially as new techniques in building processors and handling data transfer/speeds increases.

Of course, these basics leak into all technologies as they all rely on computers and robotics now. You literally cannot build a modern processor without the help of another computer and robotic components as a human cannot manipulate the parts and tools required to build a product where a hairline is too wide a gap between failure and success in building a new CPU.

Well, I did not mean that precisely. By arbiter of responsibility, I meant ethically. And who decides what is ethical and what not. We can say "for the good of humankind", but my good may not be the same as your good. So I think about that when the issue of high tech comes up in medicine.

The problem always is, one man's hell is another woman's heaven, or vice versa. The biggest problem humanity faces now is it's lack of a spiritual connection with the earth. Science allows us to understand the cycles of the universe is a much greater fasion, but we don't feel it. Many ancient societies where extremely advanced for there time, but they felt the earth.

The application of science(technology)is continually pulling us further away from our connection to the world itself, and creating social structures that resemble living entities. These entities prey upon the earth itself, like the ecconomy for example. What is progess anyway? Is it fat free carmel that comes in a plastic container that will outlive a human life span, or the understanding of how to symbiotically grow with nature as a race?

I am all for the miracles of science, I am just tired of the nightmares of humanity.

There must be a balance between agrerrianism, and technolgy, as there must be a balance between spiritual evolution, be it through demiurges called gods, or the true connection to the universe on a mystical level, as there is on scientific level. People change, just look how racial and international relations have evolved over the past two hundred years, but the problem is, people do bnot change fast enough spiritually, or say in essence and wisdom, to keep up with the change of technology. Science excelerates itself. Do you know how much change in the last century, through science, as neitzcshe predicted before he went mad? You can take that and times it by a thousand, and thats how much will change this century, if we and the earth can bare it. Are shoes are way to big for our feet as a collective. When over 60% of the people in america beleive the events of revelation will happen verbatum within the next 50 years, does that tell you how advanced our level of thing is as an american collective?

quantum physics=mass materializes through subautomics when we seek to observe it in such a way.
buhdism=the truth becomes reality once it is observed.

A lack of focus on the mind set of people we are giving god like powers through technolgy is a dangerous concept. If you believe revelations and cataclysms will happen, and you equip people with the means to make them happen, then they will be observed, and manifest.
