I can envision a future where people are typing on virtual keyboards only they can see thanks to the implanted chip that links directly to their neuronal network. Of course, they'll also be able to record their thoughts in text files or audio files without going through a keyboard if they desire. This implant will also allow them to link to anyone on earth with minimal effort (assuming that person has the chip) and converse via thought and even send images of what they're seeing. At a certain stage, people will even be able to share physical experiences.

It's not that far away! Paraplegics are already moving cursors with computer/brain links.
There will be a time where a new kind of "connection junkie" could exist. I fear that.

There is a possibility of connecting to networks less invasive than direct neurologic connection but that I reserve for my novel. You'll have to read it there... if ever it comes out!

I agree that neural connection for people with disabilities is too slow in coming. They should be the first to benefit from this.

I believe that a consciousness has a basic right to accept non-input.

E-mail has got a lot of people in trouble. In the old days, to send an angry letter, or even a humorous but easily misunderstood letter you had to compose it, put it in an envelope, put on a stamp, and carry it to the nearest mailbox. Hopefully by that time, you had plenty of opportunities to reconsider the tone of the letter.

With e-mail, most of those steps have been eliminated. Still, how many times have you composed an e-mail, or even a post to MobileRead, and then reconsidered and deleted it before posting?

When e-mail can be sent with the speed of thought, how many friendships will be broken?

If it ever does, I'd love to read it!

Remember the Coca-Cola scheme to use lasers to project the Coke symbol on the moon? Wonder what they have planned for neural-interface technologies?

That would be a French kiss, I suppose, instead of the more normal variety.
