That would be great for brainwashing, and likely would not only be used for positive things; In addition, people may be able to hack into your brain.. hacking has never been so much fun  :P

Yeah, no thanks. My brain can store more info than that chip ever could.

Plus I don't like metal in my brain.

And it's really creepy.

What a besmirchment to the human mind.

The video is very interesting, but at the same time very concerning. It would surely signal further disparity between the rich and poor, if these chips were to be sold on the market.

As with most things regarding AI and technological advances, there has to be strong consideration for the bigger picture.

Damn, that's pretty cool.

Were those kids in the video actually injected with the chip or was it just fake?  lol
Can't wait to see real life matrix  8)

The kids in the video were just for illustrative purpose.

But the tracking chips embedded in your brain right now are not.

Take acid.

Can manipulate behavior by simulating pleasure and pain if the technology is available.

Really? What kind of super brains you have?
If you read 1000000 random numbers you will remember them?

Sounds cool to be like a sort of a robohuman, but I would have fear that some hacker will enter in my brain and make me think like a cow.

Ofcourse it sounds cool, but it also has alot of negative thing about it.
Like they can put a gps tracker in the chips to follow and monitor us everywhere.
Also they could equip the chips with a killing option where they would just terminate you when you disobey.

It all looks cool and the possibilities it has are nice but I dont want a chip in my brain. 

The chip can't store a lot of information, well, process a lot of information. For example, it can't process a memory. Sure, it could make a video of the memory, but you only covered two of the five major senses.

Personally, I believe the hybrid approach will be the future of storing information. However, I believe the tech will be wearable rather than implanted.

What kind of crap brain do you have?

A **normal** brain can store at least 3 TERABYTES of information. I can't say if I look at 1000000 random numbers I'll remember them, but will the computer necessarily remember them? A GPU processes thousands upon thousands of random numbers, but it doesn't log all of them. Or your hard drive would be full very quickly.

Do you know how little 3 terabytes actually is? Quite literally nothing in the scale of storage now-a-days. In 5 years, 3 terabytes will fit in the size of a Micro-SD card. The brain is complex, and stores a lot more information.

At least. So young age is what I mean.

Normally, it's many, many pentabytes. So the chip won't hold what my brain can, most likely not till I'm nearly dead.

"pentabytes" don't quite exist. And even from a storage prospective, that's not very much. I build a storage array that's a few petabytes in my living room without many problems (would cost ~$12-15k, but still, not a HUGE problem).

I'd be afraid of the procedure, like that thing with breast implants. After few years they found out the material causes cancer and women were panicking and removing them.

What if somebody found a way to hack into the chip? Right now people aren't susceptible to emp unless you have a pacemaker, but my guess is the brain chips will be.

Damn Science, you scary.

Subconsciously, you know everything.  Tap into the subconscious and it becomes within your realm of conscious.

Akashic records.

So what happens when you get a minor shock?

Project Illuminati. >:(

I don't think Illuminati would want to insert chips into our brain. Also If Illuminati exists that controls most of the worlds economy are only helping for the world to stay stable because what's the point of controlling all the world and all people? No point, so maybe they are just babysitting and sometimes controlling us from self-destruction.  ::)

I would actually love to have a brain implant.

I'm bipolar so a brain implant would be able to essentially take me out of being depressed. It works with very small batteries and stimulates certain parts of the brain (the implant).

I would pay good money for one of those. It is scary to think that someone could hack into something like this so I would not allow it to be wirelelss. Maybe I would press a secret combo on one of my earlobes and then I'd be all right.

Imagine someone pressing that secret combo by mistake, like your GF in bed :D You might freak out.

Anyone who's had a harddrive crash after six months or had memory modules die unexpectedly for no reason will sel this as folly. You're basically putting your alleged consciousness in the hands of some Chinese chip manufacturer. Good luck with that.

KonsrantinosM, you can destroy depression without a chip in your head. Don't be so lazy and work with yourself , depression is just a sequent of wrong thinking and wrong view to the world.

im happy to see that there are some people with foresight on here to see the potential evil of things like this. unfortunately Pandora's box has already been opened which means that some scientist somewhere will always develop these technologies to heights that they shouldn't go.
