How long do you think it will be until we can watch our dream in HD?? I mean literally to visually watch what you dreamed last night.
In the future we will have perfected the dream reenactment. Among other things that is. Of course I think this is far far into the future.

This open flood gates. I've suspected this for some time now. This is a way into someone's mind. Physically. We can and will learn how to better read brain waves and interpret them. Thoughts are things! And things can be seen in a sense and possibily read. Sorry I meant read. And just that will happen. We can and will be able to control things with our thoughts when we figure this out. It will begin as a novelty where we can open and close the garage door or change the channel on the TV. But then it will turn to a more inimical nature. We will see the dark side of knowing too much. For some this will have been the intended purpose all along. This will give us the ability to control, change, and for a large part, manufacture our environment.
And as we learn to read minds, this opens a slew of categorical ethical questions. Whose property is the mind and how can it be soley owned and inhabited? Shall we jump into a killers
mind? A rapist? How will this affect crime and prevention of devious or, god forbid, national security type behavior. Will we choose to invade the minds of society in an effort to regulate thought?
This is scary territory and it is a reality. A reality that may bring us a higher scaffold of knowledge. And perhaps a higher aggresiveness of those in pursuit of power. What if Hitler had won?? What if Saddam won?? Understanding the mind is understanding how to control. Because if we can learn how they work, then we can learn how to change them to our liking. And everyones liking is different.
By the way the movies will be great. Especially last nights dream. Just don't be too curious and start watching your wifes dreams as well.
