1. So I guess that we will really end up having to take on the zombie hordes once this sort of tech take on. If they can "read" your mind how long before they can put stuff in your mind?

2. We all better start working on our Magneto helmets now so we can resist mind control.

"Hey, Companies can start requiring employees to wear this. That way, they can monitor how hard the employee is concentrating. If the concentration drops too low, the loud "GET BACK TO WORK" horn can blow. Better, the pay can be directly metered. I don't like where this is headed. Sell it as a game first, then use it for "productivity increases". yea."
