We will have electronanized almost every aspect of daily life. Computers will be combined with the television to form one major electronic. We will have unlimited digital storage. Things will go from voice activated to thought activated. We will be able to manipulate every thing from locks on doors to turning on the lights. There will be no more fighting over the remote control the television control will go by thought with parent over ride of course.
One day we will be able to write papers by thinking of the words. Our entire daily tasks we will be able to control by thoughts through the electrodes placed on the sides of our heads. It may be a time when people do not have to speak anymore. People just think of what they are going to say and it is wirelessly transmitted to the person they want to say it too, possibly even over thousands of miles. Who knows, after awhile of communicating in this manner we may forget how to actually speak.
As for watching television there may be a digital paint to use on home interior walls that is able to quickly change for viewing movies, videogames, and television shows. Video games themselves will not even use controllers to control them. People will just think about what they want the character in the videogame to do and the character will do it. Scientists have already started to experiment with this method of gameplay. They have connected a paralyzed person to a computer with electrodes and other equipment to monitor certain brain activity. With this they were able to let the person move an object slightly on the computer screen. This is a very large step towards controlling a videogame, computer, and the television just by thinking it.

While I agree that technology may be evolving towards mentally controlled machines, I sincerely doubt that they will become common place. Now I don’t disagree with that it would be possible, I actually think it would be very possible, what I disagree with is the safety of such a setup. For example, let say someone is working on a computer via a mental link, what would happen if their brain contracted a virus of some sort? Also, what would happen if someone had their brain hacked by someone else? Once computers were made it didn’t take long for people to figure out the benefits of hacking. To add to that point, considering how fast thought is, hackers would have field day with that kind of speed. So again, while I agree that technology may eventually evolve to this point, I also believe people won’t go this far due to the possible dangers that may also evolve with this.
