That’s according to Bud, which just published some predictions that will fundamentally change our world within the next five years. The most head-turning prediction: we’ll be able to use the power of our minds to operate machines.and send information via photons.
This isn’t telepathy but close , so those hoping to get a real-time stream of thoughts from an individual had best look to shows like Heroes or Bablylon 5. What Bud envisions is using a simple brain-machine interface (BMI) that can detect different kinds of brainwaves and tell a computer to respond a certain way.
Extremely simple versions of the technology already exist in products like the Star Wars Force Trainer, which includes a headset that’s based on electroencephalography (EEG). More advanced versions of the technology have been beneficial to the disabled at operating computers.
He says it’s working on technology for people to use their brains to interface with their everyday devices, like phones and PCs. “Just think about calling someone, and it happens,”
Rounding out the other four technologies passwords become replaced by multiple biometric scans, people will help power their homes simply by moving around, the digital divide will be eliminated by the wide accessibility of mobile technology, Google,Photon research div.
My main area of work and research is photon and i will keep ever one up to date on progress.
