Two monkeys with tiny sensors in their brains have learned to control a mechanical arm with just their thoughts, using it to reach for and grab food and even to adjust for the size and stickiness of morsels when necessary, scientists reported on Wednesday.

This is the type of technology that will allow the mark to control people.

This type of technology will provide better prosthetics to people without or who have lost their limbs. :thumbsup:

Though I have reservations about animal experimentation, this neuro-techno breakthrough has a tremendous upside in that it can open up options for those with spinal cord

injuries and amputated limbs and other diseases that impact mobility and coordination . . .

Wouldn't it be easier to control people with vices like drugs and tv rather than cyborg monkeys?

I see Faith's point.

However, we are already being . . . . . . . . well, if not controlled, then highly influenced . . . by all the messages that are overtly and covertly - even subliminally -

transmitted and communicated around us . . .

Nevertheless, ultimately, individuals still have and will have free will, and that moral dilemma will continue to rest on each one of us . . . thus we will be accountable to

God for our decisions ( as Paul writes in Romans) . . .

Come on!

Please explain how moving a mechanical arm equates to mind control.
