I just watched a 60 Minutes segment discussing what I think is the most amazing use of computer technology I&#8217;ve ever seen. Neuroscientist have been able to capture electrons firing in the brain and allows a person to control electronic devices, such as computers, wheelchairs, and possibly robotic prosthetic. For me this is truly amazing.

<p>I just watched a 60 Minutes segment discussing what I think is the most amazing use of computer technology I&#8217;ve ever seen. Neuroscientist have been able to capture electrons firing in the brain and allows a person to control electronic devices, such as computers, wheelchairs, and possibly robotic prosthetic. For me this is truly amazing.</p>
<p>One thing I thought was interesting, was the brain keeps firing electrons, whether the body can respond or not. It&#8217;s like a gun; you can keep pulling the trigger even if the gun has no bullets. It fires, but does nothing. Just like the brain.</p>
<p>I told my wife if I&#8217;m ever in a position where I&#8217;m locked in my body, please have these people install this device in my head. Immediately.</p>
