Oh, did I mention video games can read your mind now? They can. Have been, for a while. It’s nice to know we, as a culture, have taken the power of technological brain scanning and bent it towards distracting ourselves. You know, for the kids. PC World has the story.
It’s one of my long-held beliefs that the best way to advance a technology is to turn it into a toy. Or porn. Preferably both.
This is why video games can read your mind, and yet our space program is still banging around with junk from the 1970s.
