Stemcell Plants

I would very much appreciate a secure brain interface, but - I don‘t believe in it; not in 20 years at least. But even if, software, or shall I say wetware?, will be a nightmare. Regarding Microsoft, Jaron Lanier once asked in the early 2000s, what makes us think, that future software won‘t be as buggy as today.

Though I believe in some progress, particularly with cochlear and retina implants. But. There are an unspecified challenges here, not only from the "medical" or "technical" perspective, but when it comes to different „layers“ that will require „reality status“. Given that our world still exists than, we do need our „original perception mechanisms“, we need to see and to hear what happens in front of us (and when the hungry tiger approaches us from behind of course!). Supposed implants shall produce addidtional value anyhow, they should be able to receive signals wirelessly. So this would produce a „second, third, fourth ... layer“ on top of our reality in front. Think of the mess you have to cope with, when the traffic in front of you is competing with „a videocall from your family“ in your left retina, while the cochlear on your right is still „in the m+a-Meeting in Singapore“ .

To me, it seems pretty clear, that I do need a brain controller, if not a 2nd cpu.

So my prediction: body spare parts become a sound industry, based on stemcell „plants“. This seems to me much more promising, leaving all the trouble with consciousness apart.
