I’d take one to run a voice simulator, since I lost my vocal cords to cancer. This technology has the potential to give voice to the voiceless, hearing to the deaf, movement to the paralyzed and many other applications.

On the other hand it could be used for negative purposes. The Clint Eastwood movie “Firefox” had a pilot enjoying tremendous advantage over his opponents because his mind was technologically connected directly to his fighter jet, bypassing the milliseconds hand/stick controls require.

It’s going to be a new reality with some humans “enhanced” to have advantages over those that aren’t (police, soldiers, surgeons, athletes, etc.) and new rules and laws made to bring order to it. There’s inevitably going to be pain and injustices along the way but positive advancements and breakthroughs, too.

That is true for everything man can clutch or invent. A hammer can build a house or murder another. The issue is never the object, but the soul and intent of the person wielding that object.

The real beauty of it is that all of that crap stays behind when we advance into The Kingdom.

I agree, if you are missing limbs, senses...I would step right up there for help. With the coming AI there will be people that abuse it, all tools are like that, but look at what it can do for people. I am very excited to see what happens the next few years.
