Wireheading anyone??
November 1, 2011 at 4:15 pm
I found this article online today concerning a new concept called wireheading. Apparently with the aid of implanted electrodes in the pleasure centres of the brain, people can have 24/7 uninterruped bliss. This type of technology throws up all kinds of ethical questions and I'm sure it will divide opinion in all quarters, but I just thought I'd share it here and see what you guys thought, here's the link..
