My thoughts exactly... if they can do it with a beetle they can (and likely will, technology is seldom wasted) do it to you.

Yah I dont think anymore needs too be said......

[Dafni]

That's just wrong.

Some things should be left alone.

[shaunjohnson]

too far IMO.
cool but too far. beetle must be like..."ummm....WTF??"

[Modding_out]

This is bull shit Another ten years and they'll start using it on us Some things in this world should not be done

I don't think they're doing it for the purpose of amassing an army of controlled humans. I'd have thought that the technology could be used for those people who are paralysed, and the limbs could be controlled by a computer. It's only one step further to allow the circuitry to be controlled by the brain.

In my opinion it is only research, too many people are too paranoid.

Look on the bright side; R/C wife or girlfriend...

Yes your right, I would have to be loony to believe this was for a radio controlled army......but in the future I believe the technology will be there, and there will always be some one with to much money and an evil mind....Food for thought.

HAHAHA good one Neil!

Not a matter of paranoia, technology can be used for good or bad... but look at history, what did they do with atom-splitting technology... both.

[What's_nitro?]

That's cool.

Yes that may not be what it was intended for but its like with all the movies that say stuff like "It could be deadly if it were too fall into the wrong hands"

i agree. the tecnology sould and probably will eventually be used for good, like handicaped people. But also, it could fall into the wrong hands and be used for bad.

also, remember that most bad ppl are dumb! haha

[ticklechicken]

Yeah, any good intentions will eventually be used by the wrong people for the wrong reasons. Things like this shouldn't even be allowed to be pursued. This is almost as unsafe as when somebody invented this metallic device that hurled projectiles at others using an explosive charge. You now how many of those have been used for evil? They should all be banned.
