[...] Profesorul Michel Maharbiz, de la Universitatea Berkeley din California, a demarat in luna martie a acestui an un proiect microbiologic de coordonare a zborului unor carabusi prin conectarea de electrozi la creierele acestora. Acum, el si colegii sai incearca sa progreseze prin stimularea unui zbor wireless al “cyber-insectelor”, informeaza Singularityhub. [...]

I can already see this research ending with trying the same trick on human brains. Imagine the slave army one could command!

Take a look of their paper.
Success rate is crazy, almost 100%….
Most of bio research considered as sensation have just 10% success rate to make it.

Yeah, I read a few days ado about these remote-controlled beetles in a local science magazine. I am wondering where is science leading. I mean, every new thing that science creates has more cons (seen in the long-run) then pros.

The designers of robots and cybernetic systems (cyborgs) will naturally enable the systems to record events. In computing systems like cyborgs, the logging of activity or perception is easy to do and can yield value. But the recordings will raise legal issues. Generally speaking in the US, the recording of conversations is more legally risky than the recording of public images. When automated systems like cyborgs approach “people” on the street, legal issues will arise as to whether they can record conversations they overhear. The natural implication is that cyborgs and robot owners will seek to get consent to audio recording of nearby people. –Ben http://hack-igations.blogspot.com/2008/03/robots-as-keepers-of-legal-records.html
