Of all the scientists' visions of the quantum future, Wolf's may be the most out-there.
"The vision is that we don't have a laptop anymore," Wolf says. "We don't have a blackberry either.
We wear it. It's a headband. And instead of having a screen, we have direct coupling into the right side of the brain."
Recent experiments suggest it's actually quite easy to send information to the brain in a precisely targeted manner using ultrasound. Sony filed a patent earlier this year for ultrasonic technology that will beam videogames into our brains.
But these won't be like any videogames we know today. Having your brain surrounded by a thin band of ultrasonic transducers controlled by hypersmart quantum computers, all linked up to a global network with infinite bandwidth, means that any sense can be stimulated in any way. You can be made to see, hear, touch, taste, or smell anything.
Getting instructions back from the brain - mind-reading computers, in other words - is harder but not impossible (neuroscientists have already developed communication devices for the disabled that read brain waves).
Wolf anticipates that within 20 years, instead of cellphone conversations we will have "network-enabled telepathy." Imagine you're on a busy street, and a small percentage of the people in the crowd around you have decided to let their headbands transmit their field of vision - you could literally see around corners.
A vehicle could be driven by thought. Dreams could be recorded and passed around online as easily as we share photos on Flickr.
A creepy future? Ask Moses...!!

Now that is very funny. Its probably true. Considering the current technology, it seems quite reasonable.

Yes, and instead of reading them to the people. He would just send them a text.

LOL, I don't know where your going with this, but it is funny. Thanks for the 2 points, and the good laugh.
