Would You Allow the Internet to Invade Your Brain?

One fairly disturbing poll shows that many Americas would in fact allow a device to be implanted in their brain that would allow them to access the internet at anytime. I guess how it works (in theory) is you’d actually be using the power of your mind to connect.

brain%20issues.jpg11% of Americans are ready to sign up. Yikes. Do I even have to give you reasons as to why this is a bad idea? Did anyone else see 2001: A Space Odyssey? This is sort of along the lines of allowing technology to take over your body. What happens when we let machines take over total control? Nothing good.

17% of the folks ready to get implanted were men and only 7% were women. The poll relates that “ONLY 11%” total agreed it was a good idea but 11% is a whole lot of chip implanted people if you ask me.

The new poll released a few days ago by 463 Communications and Zogby International also reports the following:

  • “24% of Americans said the Internet could serve as a replacement for a significant other.
  • More than half of Americans believe that Internet content such as video should be controlled in some way by the government.
  • Only 33% of 18 to 24 year-olds supported government stepping in on content, while 72% of those over 70 years of age support government regulation and ratings.
  • While there are well-document fears about identity theft, many Americans would gladly give up their name for a cash windfall.

So, chip implanted brains, people replacing partners with computers, government controlled internet videos, and more. Good times. Haven’t any of these people watched the X-Files?

I have and here’s some news:

  1. People willing to pay money for your name are up to no good.
  2. We should never allow the government more power – they don’t honestly deserve what they already have.
  3. Chips in your brain (or other body parts) = BAD.

Seriously though, this was a very strange poll. Look for more to come soon from 463 Communications.

Read all results in this Hi there. I'm the Internet. I like romantic dinners, long walks on the beach and....

What do you think? Would an internet chip make you more productive at work?

Oh my goodness--I'm lazy, but not so lazy as to actually want the internet hooked up in my brain so I didn't have to find a computer and log on!

Hmm. Just with your brain, huh? No passwords or monitors or touchpads or rebooting or anything?

OK, so maybe it's starting to sound kinda handy...

It sort of weirds me out to see you here Crabby. I'm not used to visitors from other blogs. You know. And it does not sound handy it sounds insane. Believe me this would ruin the picture of health that is you. "No passwords or monitors or touchpads or rebooting or anything?" That's funny though -- I never thought of that. I guess once in a while we could all use a good reboot :)
