Just imagine if like someones pacemaker got a virus D:
Dr Mark Gasson from the University of Reading contaminated a computer chip which was then inserted into his hand.

The device, which enables him to pass through security doors and activate his mobile phone, is a sophisticated version of ID chips used to tag pets.

In trials, Dr Gasson showed that the chip was able to pass on the computer virus to external control systems.

If other implanted chips had then connected to the system they too would have been corrupted, he said.

what about when we all go ghost in the shell and get cyber brains? we'll all be fucked then
and we are on the way to developing stuff like that as well

When I heard the headline for this on a news round up I was intrigued.
When I found out he'd just thrown an RF card into his arm I called bullshit.

Not a human virus or human infecting a machine just a tosser who thought he'd make the news by cutting his arm open and sticking some plastic in. No difference between that or having it in your pocket imo. Another tech/science story the media just jumped on and misinformed about. Maybe the general public wouldn't be so confused/scared/pissed off by science if the media would report on shit properly.

It was a big let down. I wanted a brain to machine data link or at least something innovative or useful.

yeah and after many years they decide the whole world need to have a chip inside their head "body" and then be able to control us... no fucking way im going to agree with that... i rather kill myself instead of beeing controlled >.>

Just like in Japan or whatever the name is.. some people does have Chips inside their hand as test. That is connected to a computer that show where they are (GPS) ... no privacy anymore
