Those who know about Neuralink already might have started second thoughts already after reading the thread title!
Some of them might be positive electrical surges or some of them might be negative electrical surges that flown through your synapses right after reading it. Now, that so called process of thinking is what makes our brain powerful and intelligent machine.
I am writing this thread because world's changing a lot and sometime I do feel we are ahead of the time in accepting futuristic technologies. After the World War I and II happened there was enormous growth in the inventions and they led to both good and terrifying technologies.
Today, just after little 10 decades we are talking about Wireless communications over smartphone to small chips on the computers. That also becomes thing of yesterday and we invented Blockchain, which brought another revolutionary way to store the data and have it's integrity for endless time.
On simultaneous scale, there are on going researches in the world such as
1) Powering the Cities with Nuclear Fission
2) Providing Internet to every corner of the world without wires - Starlink
3) Artificial Intelligence robots army as our servants and military work force
and most interesting and mind blowing
4) Neuralink.
NEURALINK - Interfacing with the BrainWe’re aiming to design a fully implantable, cosmetically invisible brain-computer interface to let you control a computer or mobile device anywhere you go. Micron-scale threads would be inserted into areas of the brain that control movement. Each thread contains many electrodes and connects them to an implant called the “Link.”
As you might have already updated yourself with the news that we can now have first Human Trial after 6-7 months which is already approved by FDA. This means the research associated with Nueralink is moving towards successful implementation in the human brain after pigs and monkeys.
Neuralink is initially being researched for the people who carries one or other form of disability due lack of brain's activity. This technology is piece of chip that can act as fully functioning brain on that spot and get rid of the disability.
Since we are "HUMANS", we are always greedy and want to explore more from the tech. Obvioulsy Elon isn't going to stop here. The paper does suggest Neuralink will be able to have interface with the various external devices through an Bluetooth connection thus we can control the devices and apps on the phone. From our past experiences we know that once such connectivity's start we can keep going on endlessly.

If this is anyway going to be technological advancement then what is going to stop us from merging it with the blockchain technology? I mean there could be day when we will link us with Artificial Intelligence robots and control them with our minds.
Going further, Arab country has already launched their mega project of "The Line". It is meant to be futuristic and thus they are also going to invent unreal technologies to sustain the life in "The Line".
Considering the fact that we are moving at lightening speed in the future and thus could end up with the need of storing and integrating the "Data" over blockchain. We can safely assume that there wont be any paper or pen in the future. Whether its small purchase to big acquisitions we Humans will be able to pay, synch, store the data over blockchain with our "Minds" using the Neuralink technology.
I dont know, but invention of Blockchain and Neuralink and other on going research in the field of energy, all seems to be connected and all of them are at right spot and right time to move humanity towards intelligent life.
