The Next New Thing

According to The New York Times article by Andrew Pollack, a new tech that can be implanted into the brain to allow movements using only your thoughts gives new hope to the disables in the neurology department (2006). An idea derives from this article to develop an implant device that does the same thing but over wireless. The idea is to market the new media as part of the functions of smartphones combine with cloud storage. The implant would act as the alternate memory storage, expanding human ability to store text information that is connected to the individual's smartphone. For example, if the person wants to call a friend he/she will active the wireless earphone connecting to their smartphone and simply by thinking of pressing the call button to that specific contact in memory. Similarly, the function is also useful in presentations. For example, the presenter will use their thoughts to control the PowerPoint in the computer that's connected to a projector, instead of controlling it from a physical device such as a smartphone, they can utilize the implanted device to control displayed visual materials along their speech. Additionally, the new media can also replace traditional passcode entry on smart devices which adds more security to prevent identity theft to personal accounts. Much similar to voice control devices that we have nowaday, what's different is to control the device using thoughts. The implant wireless device that connects to smart devices will open up opportunities to verbally disabled individuals, allowing them to express themselves through texting controlled by their thoughts. In conclusion, the new media will mostly act as an alternative in human ability to store information and allowing convenient motionless access to those information, and will fully connect the individual to their smart devices over wireless.
