Pong is part of another revolutionary step

The mainstream press may be a little behind the blogging community, but at least they try.
We covered this story a few months ago, and now it can inspire everyone who reads USA Today (last we heard, they had more readers — for now). The inspirational and astounding story of Cyberkinetics Neurotechnology Systems is what human nature is all about. The engineers at the company have developed a system where you can control a game of pong with 70% accuracy with your thoughts. "Cyberkinetics' big breakthrough is listening to up to 100 neurons at once and applying the computing power to make sense of that data almost instantly," the article says. "The 100 sensors stick out from a chip the size of a contact lens. Through a hole in the skull, the chip is pressed into the cortex surface."
The tech will allow people with disabilities to control the environment around them, from chores to recreation.
Amazing. John Kerry, speaking about his friend Chris Reeve, yesterday said. "So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable. And then when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable."
