I have read in the news paper, a local news here in the philippines that during the convention at singapore, Bill Gates says "New technology soon to be implanted in the human body, but I will not try this experimentation in myself.."

Is it possible the somebody is working to implant computer in the human body? Wow,,, very interesting, but do you think this will help us? if the computer is inside our body, what does the computer do? maybe instead of using our mind the computer will think for you... ha ha ha... that will makes us a robot...

If this will happen, if bill gates is working to it... Well, I really be a big difference and adjustment on all people like us,,, Do you want to try it for yourself, Me I don't like to have computer inside my body... ...

Anyway, have any of you guys read the article about this topic? please give me the links where I can go to it...

RFID, Radio Frequency Identification, comes to my mind. RFID isn’t new to the market. Almost all domestic pet owners of The United States are aware of this little device that contains vital information about their beloved pets. A tiny transmitter, the size of a rice grain, that has enough power to last 5 years that submits pet’s name, registered number and the contact number has been advocated by veterinarian, even by celebrities. There’s been a rumor that some government top secret lab requires employees to be subjected to this RFID injection to enhance the security. Some RFID can last as long as a person’s life by drawing power from biocurrent. Biocurrent is the small electricity produced by your body.

During last year’s meeting of JAMA, The Journal of the American Medical Association, one cardiologist was truly fascinated with nanotechnology. This cardiologist envisioned the future of human kind and hardware in symbiosis. And believe it or not, that vision was in long working even before any doctors could have imagined. Nanobots were created to attach themselves to damaged tissue and help the body to heal itself. The method was derived from the nature. Inject a solution that contains a chemical agent that will only attach to targeted tissue. Then this solution acts as a lighting rod for nanobots and attracts them like opposite ends of magnets. So, it’s already here--nothing really new. The halt is will people accept such devices to be entered into their body? Will you allow doctors to inject you with bunch of unknown substances and let those machines heal you from within?

PS, when you get to the nanobots link, you might be surprised to find who sponsored the initial research… yes, that’s right--Microsoft. No wonder Bill Gates said,

Wow, it really exist, I can't believe its already happening... I will read that article soon to find out more.. tnx for the info..

[baffo]

This "merging" of technology with our bodies has more then just one aspect. Can be good. AS BuffaloHELP said, they can/could heal you from different diseases and help your body. With this help our lives would be much longer, because our body would not have to work that much because of the nanobots. And because of this we will not be such vulnerable infront of different diseases, but what about for viruses? I mean, computer viruses!!

If that would happen, we'll became like computers, every year or maybe two we'll have to go at the service to renew the software, maybe instal some new hardware (new versions of nanocomputers/robots). And we can be the possible targets of hackers. That sounds weird, but could happen. Someone to hack my body and then start controling me?!!! no way!

And if we start using this technology in our bodies, than terrorist would have an easy job to kill many people. Just establish a connection with the help of this things in our bodies and zap, we're dead. Ok, ok that's more science fiction then else, but can became true in a couple of years, because of fast developing technology.

[tuddy]

Where does it stop though?

At this rate, why bother going though the pleasure of having a baby, when you can just go and buy a machine.

To help cure a disease fair enough, but, and don't get me wrong, I'm not wierd! , are we going to save every single soul out there. Will we keep out birth rate up at the same time too?

Where is everyone going to work? Live? Eat?
Unless we get the 'good' people from NASA to find us another planet, we will be overflowing with people. Where i live, we are losing all our planet/trees due to housing expandure, and its getting worse!

Wait, maybe i am wired...

[AbstracT]

omg that would crazy.. I keep thinking of new forms of virus. People will try to really hack into our system. That would be crazy. They could track people down quicker.. Talk about invasion of space. Smh the govt would try and get their sticky fingers on it. This would be for the worse of man kind

[Inspiron]

Even if its possible, I won't put a Microsoft OS into my brain...
I don't wanna get hacked and store my dreams from my sleep to the registry...
Worst still, the OS just hangs there.. then I'm 'dead'...

[theconman]

Every movie about smart robots always leads to some sort of an apocalypse... I,Robot, and Blade Runner that whole prolouge about how it happened... none of them ended up good. I dont think its a great idea, but it'll help. I dont want all of my information to be in a computer...

[Sprnknwn]

Well, is not something new the probable fact that we will have some kind of microchip inside us... just to be detected everywhere and who knows... maybe some more with years. It´s an awful idea but sadly I think it will be obligatory in the future to be a citizen... just like carrying a ID. It sounds apocalyptic yes, because it is And worst of all, it will work with microsoft technology. Sure we will go crazy.

I will commit suicide before this happens

[rvalkass]

Hmmm, Windows XP Home, Professional, Male and Female. A worrying thought. Then again, crime will be wiped out as every felon will be stopped for commiting 'an illegal operation'. However, life could get tedious, being asked 'Are you sure?' at every available opportunity.

Joking aside, I don't think its a very good idea to start filling people with computers unless absolutely necessary (e.g. to help cure a disability). People are already dependant enough on computers as it is, without them being a life or death situation for everyone. What if they crash? Or get a virus? The government here in England will love the idea of adding computers to people, to track their every move and action.

Yes, OK, I'm being slightly pessimistic and cynical, but people are not going to want to have microchips inside them, literally running their lives. I am already thinking of leaving the country if compulsary ID cards are introduced, and if computer chips are made compulsary too in the future that will encourage me to move again. Why is everyone in any vague form of power so desperate to get even more control over the people under them?

[ManOfSTEEL]

Nice to hear your comment about this issues, well, maybe your wrong and maybe your right? who knows, maybe oneday, may dreams can be anyone dreams too and if the chip inside our body failed to work, then we're dead, or maybe terrorist can go inside our body and hack the system and shut it down, then we're dead. we can heal from illness with the computers inside our body but computer. how about computer virus go inside our body, I think it are more danger with this technology...

what if somebody has the ability to hack all those chips that was put in to the human body, that could lead to a massive distructions of the entire human being... how deadly!

I will not allow windows 98 or even xp inside my body....

Anyway, what If I have more than 1 girlfriend? they could track me down easily with the help of this chips.. ohh noh... No technology yet, they may ruin my love life... privacy is no more...

[FLaKes]

This kind of reminds me of the pearl jam video where all the babies are being serialed as soon as they are born, and people working all tied up to the computer with cables coming out of their bodies and stuff like that. Like all technology it will have its pros and cons, and people making good stuff out of it and others making destruction with it.

[LeAnn Rimes My Angel]

I think this is very similar to what people are doing these days with medication, steroids, viruses, penicilan, and other treatments. Instad of liquids and organic material being put into people's bodies, it will soon be hardware and metal. Is this so similar to what we are currently doing to ourselves? It certainly seems more permanent, but when the pros work out more of the cons to these new technologies in the future, I suspect it would be hard to resist. As this new technology becomes more tested, certified, and approved for humans, then I believe this will be the first stage of humans becoming cyborgs. People will start to "cheat" nature by becoming stronger, faster, more intelligent, physically improved. There will be many bennefits to this, but at a cost.

Imagine that far into the future, this technology will so be so wide used, that hackers will start to install viruses into the technology that people have in their bodies. That would be scarry.

[areawe]

So many of us already pump our bodies full of unknown substances - some of them probably not tested all that well. If it's to help cure a disease like cancer, wouldn't you? I think people will try anything even if it is little robots in their veins if it means they have a better quality of life or a better chance of survival. Ibuprofen is my unknown substance. Who knows what's in that stuff... all I know is that is works! LOL

[jmb2006]

Bill Gates is probably gunna develop some sort of os where he can control peoples minds & bodies and soon we will have an army of microsoft soldiers controlling the earth, he must be stopped here and now before it gets out of control. I'd bet my life that if bill gates had the chance he'd take over the earth.

[fl4mers]

Think about it this way people... we already live our daily lives surrounded by technology that traces our every move. I mean think about the cameras in the supermarket... I heard that every single time you go into the supermarket your picture is taken something like 10000 times. Plus you have the neighborhood watch cameras near schools and stuff as well... and the ones filming the high street... so believe it or not our space is already being invaded by the government (just not to the extent that it is suffocating and people would rebell against it yet).

Now increase that sense of being watched by the fact you have a microchip of sorts within you and I can guarantee things could get nasty. I mean, you'd pretty much have to watch every single step you take because oh my goodness BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU!!! I know it sounds a little bit melodramatic but it is logical to think that your freedom of movement would definitely be limited. I personally wouldn't like that and I sure hope this world doesn't go that far...

Just as a side thought though... Would you say governments implement new technology to make the world a better place... or in order to make science fiction fantasy come true? Because seriously... the more I think about it the more we seem to be moving into a science fiction world (at a slow-ish pace but nevertheless...) xxx

The human body is very complex and yet machinery of ours can only sustain so much of the human body without affecting it in the negative way.
Friday I am meeting the man who created the Piill, yes that one, and the patch for it as well. He is founder and chairman of Syntex Ent. For anyone in the biotech field, this is a huge deal and I am vreatly honored to be doing this.

[atm]

Such technology may be hazardous because we don’t know its effects on the human body in the long run; it may be the cause of several cancerous diseases in the future. And there is a question that I always ask:" What if something went wrong?” I'm not the one who wants to go into surgery every time your implanted equipment stalls or fail to operate.
Last of all Bill Gate's statement: New technology soon to be implanted in the human body, but I will not try this experimentation in myself...” render us a bid suspicious about this technology. Is he afraid that someone will hack into his implanted computer??? (; (:

[canpolitics]

Actually, this is niether new, nor untested. There was a researcher I read about somewhere who had a chip implanted in his arm, it was basically just a GPS chip, but in tandem he added a program to the door and lock mechanisms at his home and office so they would unlock automatically and/or open as he approached. It also enabled his wife to simply call up a program to see where he was. Apparently his wife was getting a similar chip implanted in her arm, and they were working on a cell phone type chip last I heard so that they would always be able to talk to one and another. The article was several years ago, and I can't remember much else about it so I can't point you in the right direction, but it has been done.

As for concerns based on science fiction movies, may I remind you that they are fiction.

[pilgrim_of_mini-monkeys]

Emplanting a micro chip into the brain wont turn us into robots and it wont certainly make us think like computers.

The idea is not to make us any better, it is to make computer access better. The brain is most powerfullest computer in known existence. So, by linking one mind to the world network of computers, everyone would have the power of at least 5 super computers. It reminds me a bit of Star Trek com panels (lcars). They are very quick and are all linked. Perhaps that is what it will be like in the future.

If there was one person who gave themselves up to become the human computer, then our technological advances would triple if not more. Given the chance, I would sign myself up to become one.

And foremost, CANCER IS NOT A DISEASE. Why do so many people not understand that we all have cancer. In some people it activates, mutating the organs on a molecular level. In others it stays inactive. I don't believe that anything causes cancer (lifestyle wise). Any links are purely coincidental and are made as a rouse.

If people are unwilling to go forward in life, take risks and do something that so many are scared of doing, how are we ever going to progress.

Our space is only invaded if you want to percieve it that way. All these theories and conspiracies against the government are total bull. Why would the government be interested in such "rif raf". What purpose do we serve to them? We fight there wars, we feed them and there young? We are basically servants to the government.

And how would having a chip inside you limit your activities? If the government are already "watching" us then what would be different from having a chip? Seriously, some people are so caught up in narrow limits they can't see beyond FICTION.

Finally, who said that this is a government thing? I thought it was scientifically funded by private share holders. If it stops crime, wars and stupidity then I am all for it.

[crs_cwiz]

well, all this has actually happened. Kevin Warwick is called as the world's first "cyborg" or as you call it, a cybernetic organism. He's been doing research in this field and has a microchip implanted in his body which is directly connected to his brain. the chip senses his nerve signals and acts accordingly. for example, he could control a robot over the internet which was miles away just by thinking!!! in order to lift the robot's hand, he just had to "think" about it. If that's not all, he implanted the same chip in his wife and they both were connected to each other, and they could like mentally talk to each other. the borg are coming!!

[Saint_Michael]

you people watch to much ghost in a shell, i tell why it will be impossible to do anything like that, human physics 101, you cannot keepa brain alive cuz once you discount it from the body everything shuts down, and so does the brain, forget about the frankennstien stories cuz thier is no way from what i understand to electroshock a brain back into working order, most doctors and scientists are still working out the details of false body paorts like arms and legs, yeah its been going on for ahile computer technology is somewhat making improvements but its all thoery and if their was any practical way in doing it i don't think anyone would want to volunterr to have their brain removed and transplanted in a robot or another body, just to many risks involve.

[Darker333]

So it's begun... Well, these chips right now can Improve Eye vision, Improve Hearing, and enable the person to have a sense they didnt have before or improve one...

The second it becomes a requirement to install chips so I can be registered, im leaving the US. Im sorry, but I cant accept that I can be traced and have radio be broadcasted into my brain.

Of course, with good comes evil. Military can improve a soliders performance to the point where a solider can be an average person transformed into a super solider. Who knows... one day, in return for improving sight, when we are in war, the chips can take control of us...

The possibilities of this... is horrifying and glorious. But it will be a cold day in hell when I allow myself to merge with a machine. If you become one with a machine, you are a machine. Being one with something thats not human has never happened before in the history of man kind. When it finally does happen, we will no longer be defined as human beings.

Scary huh? It hasnt even started yet.

The RFID technology referred to in a previous post is already being implanted in humans. I saw a Fox News program that indicated in a New Jersey hospital these are being promoted heavily in the emergency room as a way to save lives.

Several RFID companies are producing products that could be used subcutaneously. But the VeriChip (www.4verichip.com) seems to be leading the pack. I read an article indicating these chips are being put into security personnel in Mexico and are even being promoted in some night clubs for financial transactions, i.e., no more credit card necessary.

I even read somewhere that the next generation of these chips will include GPS for easy tracking of the user. This use, of course, is to track missing children. But it may be used for tracking anyone (how convenient). Anyway, do a Google search on VeriChip and RFID implants and you can read a lot of this stuff for yourself.

[skynet]

Wow cool! I think in future no human catogarized as dumb people, you can plant a micro chip processor on your brain, so if you want to study something you can just download some program, just like one in the matrix movie
If they're need any "rabit lab" I would be happily to be one kidding
