VIDEO: Monkey with Robot Arm

OK so honestly, this is something I am really fascinated by. I remember reading about some scientists hooking up sensors to a quadriplegic man's brain enabling him to operate a computer mouse after training his mind to do so [Link]. What is cooler than that? Answer: NOTHING is cooler than that.

I really think that in 100 years we might not have to do much manual labor anymore. We could just put on our brain-caps and have our robots do everything. Also, I doubt that we will have keyboards and mice. We could browse the web with our thoughts.

As for the monkey in the video. I am not sorry for him. He gets to sit in that cozy box and eat as much fruit as he wishes. Just like Caesar.
