Earlier this year, a team at the MIT Media Labs Europe demonstrated a wireless cap which read brain waves to control a computer game character.

Wow. Again.

See? That's a different matter. It's just a cap you can put on or take off. As long as it doesn't damage you (the way cell phones do if you use them way too much - I can see THESE babies being used waaaaaay too much), that's fine in my book.

EDIT - On second though, scratch that. I mean, it's easy enough to move the mouse, and some of us look like zombies in front of the PC anyway. No telling what we'd be like with a cap like this.

Kneel. Now.

Well, if it's not a chip in brain than it's not so much a potential harm. But yes, scrolling mouse cursor is not hard. But that cup would be a miracle for paralyzed. 
Studies show that 50% of the people do not know they form half of the society.

Yes, that it would.
