Stepford Wives Ahead?
British surgeons intend to plant computer chips in a professor and his wife to see if they can communicate sensation and movement by thought alone, says The Sunday Times of London. Kevin Warwick, a professor of cybernetics at Reading University, and his wife Irena, will have silicon chips about 5 centimetres long implanted in their arms just about the elbow. "The signals from Warwick will be converted to radio waves and transmitted to a computer which will retransmit them to the chip in Irena. Warwick believes that when he moves his own finger, his brain will also be able to move Irena's. They may even be able to communicate anger and excitement, because emotions also stimulate nerve activity."
