Similar technology marketed as a way to control video games by thought
Vocal cords were overrated anyway. A new Army grant aims to create email or voice mail and send it by thought alone. No need to type an e-mail, dial a phone or even speak a word.
Known as synthetic telepathy, the technology is based on reading electrical activity in the brain using an electroencephalograph, or EEG. Similar technology is being marketed as a way to control video games by thought.
"I think that this will eventually become just another way of communicating," said Mike D'Zmura, from the University of California, Irvine and the lead scientist on the project.
"It will take a lot of research, and a lot of time, but there are also a lot of commercial applications, not just military applications," he said.

Great. If my ‘betters’ really knew what I think about them, I’d never get out of jail.

...The first is to compose a message using, as D'Zmura puts it, "that little voice in your head." I dunno. That little bugger has got me in trouble before. I don't know if I want him representing me print.

Except the chip people!! Except the chip!
Want to buy something? Just look deeply in the cashier’s eyes, her chip will read your desire.
Wow, this is creepy and makes me want to dust off my tinfoil hat. And remove my fillings.

Oh Jesus, I need a spelling chip apparently. Stupid spell check doesn’t work when you are correctly spelling the wrong word.
Ok, let’s try this again.
ACCEPT THE CHIP!!! ACCEPT THE CHIP!
I will quietly go and shut up until my spelling humiliation has ended.

This may take some time.
People will excerpt your excess access to explain exceptional acceptance of extemporaneous exceptions.

Hey, have you ever noticed Yoda’s voice matches the blend of Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy?

Frank Oz.
Same guy for all those voices.
He took over Kermit’s voice when Henson died.
