At a meeting in San Diego, scientists presented an item they hope will help the disabled one day control machines with their mind. That’s a great and noble cause. The problem is that they’ve done so by merging insects with technology, hooking up a moth’s brain to a mechanical device that moves according to the direction the moth looks in. Fantastic. That’s the kinda thing that humans start going crazy with, eventually taking bears, wolves, vultures, dangerous shit and turning them bionic. Haven’t movies taught us anything? Didn’t we learn anything from Deep Blue Sea?! Or Mecha-Godzilla??
