Tomorrow’s World - The Wizard's Hat
Britt Wray and Ellie Cosgrave ask how can we meld machinery and our minds? Is it possible to create seamless communication between human brains and computers?
Inventors and scientists, including Elon Musk, are fascinated by brain-machine interfacing. Not only do they hope we’ll be able to control technology with our thoughts – they are working towards humans being able to transmit information directly into one another’s brains. It’s taking factual ideas to sensory inputs.
So, don the wizard’s hat (and your headphones) and enter Tomorrow’s World. Join the conversation online using #MyTomorrow
