Ever wish you could read someone's mind? Well that's not what this machine lets you do. But it does read brainwaves, and we're talking more than just moving a ball with your mind(http://www.thinkgeek.com/geek-kids/7-13-years/bf1b/), we could restore sight to the blind and talking with people who are completely paralyzed. We now have the technology that will take the place of what was the sacred domain of prophets and mystics. But this amazing technology shouldn't be saved only for the medical patients, let the gamers have their fun too! There is a brainwave headset that will come out to connect to PC's at home to enhance the players gaming experience. It will read the players facial expression to give the player and the in-game character a closer feeling. It can read conscious thoughts to lift an object in fantasy games so they can have a truly magical or supernatural feeling while playing the game! I think that this technology will be greatly expanded to be used in everyday life, but not for a long while. Some of the setbacks is the unpredictability of the human brain, and if we accidentally think something that could cause a major chain reaction of mass destruction.
