Glasgow, Scotland
– At a recent innovative technological conference, a group of Scottish students
showcased a new laptop which uses the power of thought to make calculations,
change programs, and write short essays.
The new ‘thinktop’ looks like a normal laptop, except that
it has an earpiece which not only sends the user music and conversations, but
can also transmit to the laptop a few limited commands.
Scientists have recently discovered that thoughts in our
brains produce minute sounds which have now been recorded on the micro
transmitter. The students from Glasgow County College have been working on the
project for six months and are now ready to display their findings at their
Finals.
At the current international conference in Glasgow,
participants were amazed at the thinktop’s capabilities, but also warned of its
consequences. “Can you imagine what would happen if people started using
thinktops to post their thoughts and feelings on social sites such as Facebook?
It would result in some ‘too honest’ comments and perhaps enrage a lot more
users.”
The Glasgow students have stated that before the thinktop
could be used publicly, there would have to be general guidelines agreed on
social network sites. They also quickly pointed out the practical use of the
thinktop in criminal investigations. If a detained suspect was wired to the
thinktop, a confession could be obtained very quickly.
A short essay written by the students using the thinktop was
also displayed and placed on the world wide web. Anyone interested in reading
the delightful piece of prose can find it at the following link: Thinktop
