Week Thirteen Assignment

1. Would you support the development of a bionic person?

I'm not sure we have much choice in this day and age. Already I read numerous articles where people are building and reattaching inorganic appendages with full control. In any case, I absolutely support the idea of people regaining use of their severed limbs.

2. How would you rate "the control of artificial limbs by thought alone"?

I'm not sure I understand the question. How would I rate it? I guess positively. I mean, we control our limbs by thought alone, obviously some more conscious than others. For example my typing. The thought will run through my head, and it will come up on the screen, pretty much as I think it. Until I make a typo, that is, at which point I'll simply run back and correct it. I've noticed it makes it difficult to multitask while typing, unless I'm simply having a conversation with someone over the internet. It comes fairly easily, then. But even so, if I were to be reading or watching or listening to something with details or something that I was interested in, than I'll have to give quite a bit more thought into what I want to type or tell someone.
