In my section without much fanfare, "Computer-Brain Interfaces Making Big Leaps," I noted that various specialists and researchers were nearing closer to engineering typically held for science fiction: hacking our brains to evacuate unwanted and dismal remembrances.
In spite of the fact that the thought of erasing a memory may sound engaging some —who would like to disregard that first tragedy? —it may have lamentable results for our brains. It's one thing to digitally upgrade our remembrances with contraptions like iphones and Google Glass, its something truly distinctive to erase or change past remembrances utilizing engineering.
A few book fans inquired as to whether this was taking innovation too far, saying such progressions cross an ethical or moral line that science ought not pass.
“The human brain is intricate and a lot of damage can occur,” warned Jolan from Brooklyn in a comment on the column.
“If science wants to play with people’s thinking, then they ought to first decide about moral and ethical values of who they work for and the consequences of their actions,” wrote Mr. Magoo 5 from North Carolina.
Given today’s surveillance society, where the National Security Agency, Federal Bureau of Investigation and countless foreign governments monitor communications, connecting our brains and thoughts to the Internet might be asking for even more government trouble.
