Take a moment to read this little article brought to my attention by Niccomawf:
"SCIENTISTS CREATE ROBO-FISH CYBORG
USING A LAMPREY'S BRAIN … NO, REALLY"by Tom Henderson
That's so cool. In a creepy sort of way. Once scientists are fully able to apply that kind of technology to humans, imagine the weird and wonderful and downright scary stuff that could make.
Biotech things like these could make it far easier for us to interface with computers, kicking off the whole "Matrix" experience, jacking into interfaces that offer true immersion, not by using screens and speakers by by directly stimulating the brain! Combined with research regarding learning and memory, perhaps it could even be reasoned that such technology can be used to "teach" individuals jacked into it.
Looks like Cyberpunk is the way to go...
