I was inspired to do this blog from a conversation I had with someone in this site last night. As some of you might know, scientists are trying to develope a device that would allow them to see what people are thinking. The results have been encouraging as the scientists were able to see what shapes people have been thinking. For some of you this might sound nice and cool but it worries me. A lot of people might like the idea of reading someone else's mind but I'm not so keen on this idea. I know that the applications of this device will be helpful to a lot of people with health problems or to stop dangerous individuals. But the mind is the last place that we can have real privacy nowdays, it's the last frontier. Everybody has the right to think whatever they want. What's next? Are they going to monitor our thoughts, with the excuse of trying to protect us? Are people going to be arrested because of a thought? I can't imagine what is next.
