Week 7 Blog: The Power of the Mind

Technology today has hit an ultimate high. There are things we can do now that people never could have imagined a hundred years a go. The biggest question we have today is, is it a good thing or a bad thing?

The technology we learned about in this video is a technology that can ultimately control other things with your mind. I feel like this could both help and hinder human connection. On one end, it gets a human to use their brain more and helps them gain control. But it can hinder the human connection to other people that we need so much. 

Technology like this can help people with disabilities better communicate or become more mobile. But it can also take an already lazy generation and make it lazier. But there is really no way of stopping the inevitable. I do believe that it could eventually turn out to be an isolating technology. Why would anyone want to do anything when they can control most things from the comfort of their own chair?
