Facebook To Venture Into Telepathic Technology; ‘Ultimate Communication Technology’ To Allow People To Share Thoughts
Ritwik RoyIf latest reports are to be believed, Facebook is planning to build telepathic technology that will be capable of reading brain waves. Job advertisements posted in California have revealed Facebook's next big project. Facebook is already possessing infinite data on its users such as names, photos, friend lists and many more. Now, it wants to read its users' minds. This new technology could become the new way sharing, far beyond status updates and photo sharing.
According to Financial Review, the telepathic technology job ads at Facebook's "Building 8" division include PhD-level roles for a "neural imaging engineer" and "brain-computer interface engineer." The ads state it would be a two-year project where "bold things" will be accomplished. Another job ad mentions a "communication and computing platform of the future." The recruits will take up roles of "developing novel non-invasive neuro-imaging technologies" and analyzing "neuro-imaging and electrophysiological data."
Up to now, reading minds via technology was more of science fiction idea but it's Facebook after all, and it's trying to turn this into a reality. Of course, such telepathic technology could be the ultimate privacy nightmare for Facebook but it seems founder Mark Zuckerberg is ready to take the stride. Even though Zuckerberg has revealed that such a technology is decades away, Facebook is ready to lead the way starting now.
Zuckerberg had previously described telepathic technology as the "ultimate communication technology" and he also stated that it is the best way to capture a feeling "in its ideal and perfect form." Researchers have already made advancements in decoding brain waves. If this mind-reading technology really comes to life, people will be able to exchange thoughts using technology. If a person thinks of something, the tech will allow his friends to experience what he is thinking.
The telepathic technology will be way more advanced that Virtual Reality that only captures a scene. Using mind-reading technology, people will be able to capture a thought in its most perfect form and share with the world, writes The Telegraph.
