The Inside Story of the Experiment to Fuse Artificial with Human Intelligence.
Ever wondered what it would be like to witness one of mankind's great scientific discoveries? Because on February 24th 2002 the door was opened onto a new dimension of discovery. This is what happened.
On February 24th 2002, Kevin Warwick, Professor of Cybernetics at Reading University and one of the world's leading creators of artificial intelligence, took the dangerous and momentous step - both for himself and for mankind - of having a computer chip implanted into his nervous system.
This chip has the ability to beam the complicated patterns of pulses that coarse through us onto a central computer where they can be stored, and then played back into the chip at a later date.
The implications of this technology are astonishing, particularly for medial science. Pain relief will become possible without drugs. Paralysed people will be able to control their environment, and the effects of diseases like Parkinson's will be slowed down.
And that is the tip of the iceberg. On February 24th, a new world dawned.
