For All You Gamers Out There

As we approach our study of the human body, we will be investigating some amazing new technologies that enhance what we already do. I know that many of you enjoy playing video games, and when I found this article, I thought of you. Read through what we may soon be able to do with our nervous system and modern technology. http://www.livescience.com/technology/080221-ap-brain-controller.html What impact will this have on our lives and our constant quest for more knowledge?

I don't know how this works! This is crazy. To actually have a video game that reads your mind... I want that! Technology is changing so much, I don't know what they will ome up with next. Soon everything will be controlled by your mind, but I don't know if I want THAT to happen...

Even though this new video game sound really cool, it reminds me of a book i just read. In the book, every person on the planet was living inside thier own fantasy world. The planet was being pushed into ruins because there was no one to take care of it. Everyone was so obsessed with living inside thier perfect reality, no one had any sight of what was important any more. I don't think the video game will get as controlling as that but video game nerds will sit playing games all day and never get any excercise.

The really long one was from Anna Petree. Sorry, I messed it up...
It was the one with THAT in all capitals if you can't tell. Well, it's also the one without a name. So, hopefully you could figure that out. Hopefully mine was the only one without a name and THAT in all capitals. ......... SOOOOOO, yeah... K bye. Have a great spring break. Yeah, i'll be bored but whatever...

Mkayy....I personally think that this is the coolest thing since sliced bread!!See..I don't really play that many video games because I don't have very good hand-eye cordination. So I'm just a spaz at it.But if they really could make this thing work, I would be good to go!!

THAT WOULD BE AWESOME TO PLAY VIDEO GAMES WITH YOUR MIND. IF YOU ARN'T COORDINATED ENOUGH TO PLAY WITH YOUR HANDS THIS WOULD BE GOOD FOR YOU.

I think that this will alow us to find out more about how the brain works, grows, and developes. I want one of these too. I'd be awesome to play with your mind everything would be almost instant to what you wanted to do.

Sweet!! Ive read a type of book that takes place in 2020 and the game is called "The World". But they have headsets like that and they can give expressions too. But i am going to be saving my money for that thing.

I think it would be fun to play with your mind instead of your hands.

This could change our way of life by enabling us to better comunicate with each other and our computers. If we can apply this to a game controler, we could use this to interogate enemies, and if we develop it further, be able to read peoples mind from long distance.

I agree with Katie. So many people now don't do anything and this new technology thing could make us even more of a game zombie. If they use this for scientific reasons it makes sense, but for entertainment? Thats completly wrong. Just use your fingers for goodness sake it burns off more calories than just sitting there. I'm not very sensative to video games so I'm sorry if I'm killing you. I am not very good at them. The next question was the constant quest for more knowledge. If we can continue to increase what we know about the brain we could maybe stop going to school as often and just learn quiker with the new technology stuff. This wouldn't completly dimolish school just take away a day or two!!

Just by creating this game, it could change our everyday life. We would no longer have to use our hands as much. By creating this it would keep scientists searching for more and trying to find ways to make this work in our lives in more useful ways.
