Warwick Gets a Few More Wires

Posted by michael on from the tired-of-reading-cyborg-submissions dept.

teamhasnoi writes "CNN reports that a British university professor has been fitted with cyborg technology. (100 wires embedded in his wrist) This apparently enables his nervous system to be linked to a computer, encoding movements like wiggling fingers and feelings like shock and pain, and recorded for the first time. Is this the end of VCR+? Or the beginning of an (unholy) marriage of man and machine?" Warwick has been doing this for five years now.

    That's like asking if anyone has ever used Linux on Slashdot.

    You'd be suprised to find out that many of the most vocal linux advocates were also moaning and whining about the "page widening bug"... which is/was a bug only showing in IE. Go figure.

    He's been a media doll for years. He's no damn cyborg, and even if he is, Steve Mann got him beat as the first.

    Steve Mann is the man, or part-man I should say. Hope he recovers from his airline experience.
