Week 25 - 'Facebook team working on brain-powered technology'

'Facebook team working on brain-powered technology'
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-39648788


  • Facebook says it is working on technology to allow us to control computers directly with our brains
  • It is developing “silent speech” software to allow people to type at a rate of 100 words per minute, it says
  • With these announcements, Facebook is envisioning technology that is far in advance of anything currently possible

With the rise of fake news and other important aspects involving Facebook as a core source of many of today's problems, it's interesting to see that they are trying to ignite the purpose of the social media by trying to attempt new technology. This technology is extremely futuristic and is almost scary to even consider that our brains and our computers can be fully compatible; this not only sounds like a terrible idea but also raises so many issues from our initial thoughts to not being able to even think for ourselves.
