Intel researching channel surfing with your brain
Using a remote control to change channels is just such a pain. I mean, what with you needing to push buttons with your fingers and all. If only there was a better way!
Intel is working on it. More specifically, they're working on brain implants that would let you change channels and surf the web using your brain, no remote controls or keyboards needed. Sounds scary yet also convenient! We're still pretty far off from this being a reality, but it's kind of exciting that it's being worked on, no?

Yeah, and while we're at it, lets just make hoverchairs we can all float around in, they'll be brain controlled too, dont worry. Soon we'll never have to do any physical activities ever again, and we can all live in the movie Wall-E. Hi Five everyone. We are well on our way to never being physically active again.

to HDTVguy: yeah, we might lose our physical bodies(some but not all) but it will also open up a whole new understanding of how we can do things.
