Remote Control for Humans
Tuesday, November 08, 2005

"We wield remote controls to turn things on and off, make them advance, make them halt. Ground-bound pilots use remotes to fly drone airplanes, soldiers to maneuver battlefield robots; But manipulating humans? Prepared to be remote controlled." - Yuri Kageyama CNN 25 Oct 2005.

When i read that, the first impression came to my mind was, "yea, right.." i bet it's another scam or gimmick kinda unreliable news.. However.. after i actually read through the article carefully.. words by words.. and further did a lil bit of research on this human remote control thinggy..
And yea, i concluded that this finding is really exist now in japan.. tho it would be a highly classified and restricted technical gadget.. as you wont see em selling it in toy'r'us or some bandai model shop..

Anyway, the fact that this headphone-look alike gadget could actually affect your sensorimotor functions and to the point where "I didn't notice that I was actually walking by myself", that's just simply eerie and pretty much scary. Imagine, one day while walking in the town, a stranger asked you to put on a headphone and listen to some demo music.. then suddenly u just couldnt control yourself and started stripping in front of public.. oh gosh.. it might sounds abit ridiculous if somebody told me this kinda thing could happened say a month ago.. but not after i've finished reading that article.. (so, don't ever use any strangers' headphone)

Though it's still pretty much immature (as in the consistency and capability of the human remote controller) and vague in its development, nonetheless, it's showing prospectful growth still.. See, if they could remote control your sensorimotor coordination now.. that means they might be able to do something even go beyond just that 10 yrs from now. Who knows what they could do? (they as in crazy japanese scientist.. when you add scientist + middle age japanese uncle + geek = ???, i dun wanna think bout it)

However.. according to the press.. the invention itself has friendlier uses in mind.. it might solves the problem of growing numbers in traffic accident.. yet, who knows what they might inject into you... or what.. hmm.. i dunno.. maybe i m just being abit too skeptical..
