DARPA Announces Program To Create 'Cyborgs' By Letting Humans Talk To Computers

The US Military's experimental research division DARPA have confirmed that they're to begin work on the world's first human computer interface. This would effectively allow soldier 'cyborgs' to connect directly to computers and 'talk' to them. The program, entitled Neural Engineering System Design (NESD) has been designed to create a "implantable neural interface able to provide unprecedented signal resolution and data-transfer bandwidth between the human brain and the digital world."
The idea shares some similarities to the film 'The Matrix' where human beings are 'plugged' into a virtual world through a data port in the back of the neck. However DARPA believes that the main barrier in place preventing humans from effectively communicating is that the cabling we use to transfer the data between the brain and the computer is far too simplistic.

reality 2.0   
this is basically the start of the 'Ghost in the Shell' Sci fi manga

And when the "cyborg" gets a virus...who we going to call

a doctor or Norton ???

they don't get viruses Fools install undesirable software.
a virus in computer terms is just another application.

it is no different than a car engine if you are going to pour crap in it, it will stop working.
Maintenance and you've got a machine that will run without major issue for decades
