The Internet Of Minds (IOM). An Essay. (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781728735306)

"In 2015, the basic principle of flying a plane using a surgically implanted microchip was demonstrated, but continued development of the brain-computer interface (BCI) has created a two-way connection enabling the pilot to not only send commands to the craft but also to receive signals."DARPAThe immediate goal to that branch of research which is carried out in the framework of Darpa (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency)in the USA, is to be used to allow crippled people to connect to artificial limbs (arms, legs) and control them in order to for example start walking without the need of any external means such as a wheelchair. But even for those in the team of research their final goals are much larger and comprehensive and diverse: -Creating the super-soldier that can activate weapon systems with his bare thoughts.-Creating the super-engineer that without moving a limb of his physical body can activate virtually any system connected to the internet for example by means of the Internet Of Things.My goal in this essay is to go a step further and assume that the technology of the connection between the human brain and microchips and though them to everything else is reachable relatively in the near future and affordable so that nearly everybody could be safely connected to a microchip. What could be then done with this emerging technology? To connect almost everybody to the INTERNET OF MINDS(IOM).Using a new concept that borrows from that of the Internet of Things.I will discuss what could be done with the IOM and some positive and negative implications of the general adoption of the technology.
