You Can't Control Me ....

or can you? According to an article I just read - A Remote Control That Controls Humans - it may be possible in the future. Evidently some Japanese scientists that work for a telephone company, have come up with a headset and remote control (like the ones for the rc cars) that will send a low voltage electric current through your brain that will affect your balance and cause you to move in certain directions to keep from falling down. The company says that they want to develop this technology further to enhance video games - but the author of the article foreshadows a much darker use...controlling military forces during times of war and conflict. Although I like the thought of using this against someone that is about to do something stupid - like rob a bank or blow themselves up. You could shoot some juice at them and cause them to run the other way.

Now, if you were my husband - you would have immediately thought of more practical uses.....like getting your wife to clean, cook and grab you beers during the game. Isn't he sweet? But ladies, if that was the case - then imagine all of the projects around the house and yard that could get done in a weekend.
