Scientists Successfully ‘Hack’ Brain To Obtain Private Data: Are You Worried?

Poor little 'ol me?
...Hardly.
And if you think you are not already under the influence of 'some leaders' control and power, you will have nothing worth hacking anyway. You're already programmed.

Oohhh...and watch out for the black cat that crosses your path...bad luck.

But if they can read your mind, you can't hide it then can you? Plus, I meant it in a joking fashion, but whatever.

We already live under a form of dictatorship. A one person dictatorship is not the only form of dicatorship that exists.

Nope...nobody home between my ears....It just doesn't matter....bark

Now? Not so much. I'm more worried about when and how this will evolve later down the line and what will result from it.

That's so weird and creepy. Now all of my private thoughts and secrets will be revealed to everyone!!!

I didn't click anything, read the link and came back to this page to vote only to find that it logged me as voting "no". Argh!

Yes, it concerns me but yes, this is going to get into some very tricky areas of law and brain sciences and therefore will, in time, have limited credibility and application. It's the "in time" part of that that concerns me.

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is how the Dollhouse becomes a reality.

YES! VERY MUCH! This I live with. I have been living with this constant surveillance, but I'm not in custody. I go everywhere and they are always with me. There's one particularly detestable innocuous person that was going through my experiences to find extremely pleasant ones, so she could put on those types of emotions as they see fit. Isn't that great? As one's life becomes more tortured and trouble than ever, a tart that has often been responsible for that is going to put one on the pleasant vacation perceptions. I went berserk with undying, stentorian pleasure.

You think it's not true?

although primitive at this point, this technology is likely to grow fast...interesting, but concerning

haha...right

If this is true then privacy is totally destroyed, just thinking that someone other than G-D could know my secret thoughts makes me shriek.

same old thing.

Me no worry. I have no brain whatsoever.

False. It is impossible for someone to live without a brain.

It's sketchy at best.

I am a little worried as I don't know what it could be used for but I am also excited about it as if I can get it then I could understand not only what people think but why they think what they think and I could better understand exactly what would convince someone to change his/her mind or if the person seems to have a better point of view than I do I could understand what I was wrong about and change points of view. I would love to hack into the minds of people who think differently than I do in order to understand why and possibly how to change a persons mind. Of course if this can access information in a persons brain it might also be able to plant information in peoples brain in the future and be used for mind control. I do think this is very exciting as it could allow people to better understand each other.

Yes I am worried but now can we force Obama to under go this procedure?

I have WAY too much valuable information in there.....

James Bond?

lol not quite :-)

Who is out there to disprove them ? Just like darwin, right?

No..scientists please stay away from my brain!

do tell.

It's already easy enough to get private information, believe it or not. That doesn't mean it's right to get that private information at will and with imprudence, but that information's out there nonetheless.

Every time you make a phone call, you're giving out your phone number to the other person (or machine), regardless of whether you know the person you're calling or not.

Every time you swipe your credit card at the grocery store or gas station, you're giving information about your finances out.

Every time you send someone a letter or package, you're giving your home's location out.

As I'm browsing the internet, I'm not only giving my accounts' passwords out, but also my computer's IP address, and indirectly my location.

Heck, every time your friend introduces one of his/her friends to you, your name is being given out!

You almost can't be part of human civilization without giving private information out. If you want your information to be TRULY private, your best bet is to leave civilization and avoid all interactions with other people.

Damn, it seems scifi has once again predicted the latest tech. Now how long do you think it will be before someone gets "ghost hacked" (Ghost in the shell fans would get it)

It is interesting how often sci fi becomes reality.
