With every person now low-jacked with EEG detection chips and cybernetics, we are supposedly all safe and secure, from scenarios that may include hackers beaming or rather streaming telepathic instructions into large portions of the population and inducing a re-ional war, stealing military secrets or creating a global financial heist by spurring the online trading of fraudulent junk bonds. The neural net rebounds with no end in sight and complete global penetration is achieved. Meanwhile scientists, moralists and social engineers are busy splicing genetics creating the next generation of perfect “security” against telepathic intrusion with the circuits built into your brain - or rather in the manipulated DNA of embryos. And now the bad guys that had the original hackers implement a global scare and then had them busted on purpose have retired. The next generation of imitation bad guys industrialists are now better and more efficient. They implement the actual takeover plan and by this time the entire Human Race has become networked far beyond cell phones, the internet and fax machines. And access to your subconscious can be done without the target realizing their cognitive powers have been meddled with and instructions for behaviour modifications are being streamed slowly and in complex interactive schemes that are difficult, if not impossible to detect. Of course this is just a movie, just another movie from many now that predict the world convulsing in a global confrontation as some elite groups attempts to take over lock, stock and barrel. The backdoor to your brain is just a pushbutton away and you will not have an inkling your behavior is being controlled. Impossible, implausible, mostly an impasse at every step for this nightmare. And the fact that Hollywood has made so many movies on this subject means that this kind of rubbish is utterly impossible. After all the audience is now aware, they are aware of the dangers and implications these technologies could represent and thus any such social tendencies or drifts can be eliminated swiftly - as we have done with hackers and identity theft, as we have done with poverty and homelessness - simply because the audience has been made aware. Brain Computer Interface (BCI) is a term used by another Northern California firm that has commercialized EEG technologies. Industry prefers the term EEG over telepathy since the acronym has its roots in medical research while the term telepathy, along with telekinesis, has roots in fiction and science and therefore is less medical and more threatening. Emotiv has been working on its gadget but NeuroSky Inc. has also released its BCI device to the consumer and has been making steady improvements in its technology. Several manufacturers have partnered with the high-techfirm, including Mattel and Square Enix, a video game designer and publisher with hot-selling titles such as Lara Croft Tomb Raider. Other manufacturers are following suit, eager to establish a foothold in the consumer market. According to a news source, the University of California at Irvine is conducting
