Poll: Future computers may be controlled directly by your brain

[quantum mechanic]

I recently came across an article that blew my mind (link below). Intel says that their scientists are working on creating an implantable chip for people's brains that would allow them to control computers with their thoughts. I was wondering what other people thought about this.

Here's the article: http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9141180/Intel_Chips_in_brains_will_control_computers_by_2020

Personally, I think this is extraordinarily cool, but I'm a little worried about the potential for interference and misuse. Thoughts?

I couldn't do that. Creepiness aside, my mind wanders way too much, so it'd be extraordinarily inefficient.

You ever seen those Bud Light commercial where they show the too heavy and the too light? This would be on the too heavy side. We don't really need this.

I think touch or voice command is as far as we need to go.

Resistance is futile. Maybe.

Brain hacking = bad stuff.
