Where will it end

They already have succesfully recorded/scanned images from out our brain from things you're looking at.
Now we they are also busy with implanting lenses in our eyes link

Great technology though but if it keeps on going would there be any use for cameras anymore?

I'm probable the only one who reminds all this to Ghost In the Shell.
It goes about a future were implants and cyborgs are quite common. Memories are stored on devices in your brain instant access to interenet and infomation simply by thinking... there need to be one hell of an anti virus program before I go on the web like that...
Hehe, I went a bit of track here

Well have fun and don't worry about the future, atleast you can still look at your favourite photograph when you're older. That's comforting when you think about it

If the date didn't say April 2nd I would have said it was something along the lines of this from Kodak:

I like that! The only omission is waterproofing!

It is odd, though fiction is turning into fact, there is another version of an eye implant where the camera is on a pair of glases and it links wirelessly to an eye implant that send electronic impulses in to the optic nerve, allowing blind people with no optic nerve damage to see rudimentary black and white images! All you need now is the Micro SD slot in the glases and you have the Kodak device!

Beakynet, they are already experimenting with something like that.
Camera attach to the brain, the camera gives signals to the brain and the subject is able to see. Well it's still very crude and not very preciese but the can see shapes and colours so that's a start.

Why go wireless, if they are already so far I don't believe that storage inside a body would be a problem, really you should see or even better read Ghost in the shell

Which one do you have there are so many now.
-Ghost in the shell (1995)
-Ghost in the shell 2.0 (it's a polished edition just out)
-Ghost in the shell 2: innocence
-GITS: solid state society
and there are also 2 serries
-GITS: stand alone complex
-GITS: stand alone complex 2nd gig
I quite like the original movie, I was 15 when I saw it. I immidiately bought the Mangas too and I now have quite an collection of Shirow's Art for obvious reasons of course
The serries are also good if you've too much time on your hand, differend from the movie but still good and for the grown ups, a child wouldn't understand a thing about it.
Never thought I would found someone here who knows those pieces of art.

Just the first film, full 2 GIGs and second film,Solid State Society.
Awaiting the third GIG, if they ever do one!

The whole series allow a glimpse into an alternate, but possible future. Don't think I'll see the real thing though.

Now we've confused a lot of members Stefan.

Hmm, I only read the manga, 2 first books I think. So we'll need brain firewalls now, huh?
Kind regards,

Mhmm I think so too

You really should read the Mangas, they are so much better believe me.
The first and last manga still got my head spinning from what he means.

If we keep on going this way, the universe of GITS comes closer and closer...
this drift suddenly got me dreaming about the lesbian scene in the frist book
