So, it seems the Japanese are working on bringing modern myth one step closer to near-future reality. Let's face it, artificial intelligence, ghosts in the machine, and human/technology fusing represent the closest things we have to a modern mythology. The technology in question here, one which would allow the user to move characters in a cyberspace world with nothing more than brainwaves, is aimed primarily at victims of paralysis. Nice work guys, very cool and very humanitarian.
Now onto the reality of things. Like so many technological advances aimed at a very specific target group, this is one with vast consumer potential. Tech junkies and internet addicts alike would stand in line for weeks to acquire a technology that would let allow them to move avatars mentally. The real question is, should a product like this be on the open market or not? What do you think?

Greetings fellow explorers in the Strange Corridor. This blog is being moderated by a someone new: me. You can all call me Mr. D. We may be heading in some new directions, but there will be some of the known as well. The driving thought for me and this blog is simple. "The world is complicated." Let's explore those complications together.
