Gates Says No to Implants

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Sunday July 3, 2005 @03:27AM from the do-i-need-a-new-topic-icon-now dept.

Tamas Feher from Hungary writes "The future of Slashdot's infamous Borg Bill thumbnail image may be in jeopardy after Microsoft founder William H. Gates said technology will one day allow computer implants - but hardwiring's not for him. 'One of the guys that works at Microsoft... always says to me 'I'm ready, plug me in,"' Gates said Friday at a Microsoft seminar in Singapore when he was asked whether computers would ever be implanted in the human brain. "I don't feel quite the same way. I'm happy to have the computer over there and I'm over here.' "

In other words he doesn't trust the hardware and/or software being hooked up to his brain.

So true. Here's a proof: unlike Bill, Melinda Gates wasn't against Microsoft implants, and look what happened to her...
