Are you ready to have a microchip implanted into your brain? That might not sound very appealing to you at this point, but this is exactly what the big pharmaceutical companies and the big technology companies have planned for our future. They are pumping millions of dollars into researching "cutting edge" technologies that will enable implantable microchips to greatly "enhance" our health and our lives. Initially, brain implants will be marketed as "revolutionary breakthroughs" that can cure chronic diseases and that can enable the disabled to live normal lives. Just imagine the hype that will surround these implants when people discover that you can get rid of your extra weight in a matter of days or that you can download an entire college course into your memory in just a matter of hours. The possibilities for this kind of technology are endless, and it is just a matter of time before having microchips implanted into your brain is considered to be quite common. What was once science fiction is rapidly becoming reality, and it is going to change the world forever.
The pharmaceutical companies of the future will include a "bioelectronics" business that "treats disease through electrical signalling in the brain and elsewhere." Diseases such as diabetes and epilepsy and conditions such as obesity and depression will be will be treated "through electronic implants into the brain rather than pills or injections." These implants will send electrical signals to cells and organs that are "malfunctioning". People will be totally "cured" without ever having to pop a pill or go under the knife.
If a brain implant could cure a disease that you have been suffering from your whole life would you take it? A lot of people are going to be faced with that kind of a decision in future years.
This kind of technology is advancing very rapidly. In fact, some researchers have already had success treating certain diseases by implanting microchips into the brains of rats. But is it really safe to have a device implanted into your head that can "talk" directly to your brain? For example, Intel is working on sensors that will be implanted in the brain that will be able to directly control computers and cell phones. Even now, some video game makers are developing headsets that allow users to play games using their brain waves rather than a joystick or a control pad. Other companies want to make it possible to directly connect your brain to the Internet.
The possibilities are endless. But so is the potential for abuse. Implantable microchips that can "talk" directly to the brain would give a tyrannical government the ultimate form of control. If you could download thoughts and feelings directly into the brains of your citizens, you could achieve total control and never have to worry that they would turn on you. In fact, you could potentially program these chips to make your citizens feel good all the time. You could have these chips produce a "natural high" that never ends. That would make your citizens incredibly dependent on the chips and they would never want to give them up.
This kind of technology has the potential to be one of the greatest threats to liberty and freedom in the history of mankind. At first these implantable microchips will be sold to us as one of the greatest "breakthroughs" ever, but in the end they could end up totally enslaving us. Just think about it...
