Get A Password To Avoid FB Reading Your Mind!
Facebook goes for human brain integration into its Oculus VR by acquiring "New York-based CTRL-labs, a start-up that is exploring ways for people to communicate with computers using brain signals". Yes, very soon, your thoughts will be “transduced” into texts, making it possible that you can do Facebook hands-free with VR picking what you have in your mind, and sharing with friends.
Call it the zenith of natural computing, and you will agree that if computers can read your mind, GDPR and NDPR are about obsolete! I need a password to protect Facebook from reading my mind!
Facebook has talked a lot about working on a non-invasive brain input device that can make things like text entry possible just by thinking.
So far, most of the company’s progress on that project appears to be taking the form of university research, but with this acquisition (which we’ve confirmed was worth between $500 million and $1 billion), Facebook appears to be moving closer to turning this idea into a commercial product.
