Tan Le: A headset that reads your brainwaves

Here Tan Le was introducing a headset that was able to work as the people's thoughts. The gadget can detect people's brain waves, analyze them, and carry out according to their thoughts. It's wireless and inexpensive. What seems to be a bit troublesome is it has to be adapted according to distinct individual brains. Once it gets respective attributions of our brains, which takes only few minutes, it can work in the way we want.


As her explanation, we can highly benefit from the headset. For example, without moving, we can open curtains or turn lights on. These usages are really helpful especially for the disabled since they can move their electrical wheelchairs and go around just by imaging. Furthermore, if we can expand its ability enough to read other people's mind, there would be less squabbles in the world, because we can get through with everything without real meeting nor talking with them.


However there are some concern regarding this headset. Above all the most biggest one is that it might be made bad use of by evil people, like tyrants. Once such a kind of people get this gadget, there might be the possibility that they manipulate their people's minds, for instance, to trigger meaningless wars. Therefore I think, in case this headsets are distributed, the researchers or governments should radically oversee it and have strict discipline.
