Thought control? How would you like to be able to turn on your television just by thinking? Or have the door to your house open by mind power when your hands were full? This isn’t something that will remain science fiction for long. The technology necessary to make this happen is here now.

First of all, you have basic thought control now, meaning you can control and direct your thoughts. You can imagine a friend talking in your mind, for example. Then you can choose to hear music in your imagination. If you are hooked up to an electroencephalograph when you do these things, it will also be clear that these two thoughts are handled in different parts of your brain.

This electroencephalogram, or EEG, is important, because what we can measure, we can use to do things. Think about this for a moment. Modern electronics has made it possible to easily operate things as a response to measurement. A thermostat measures the temperature, for example, and turns the heater on or off according to that measurement. Security lights turn themselves on when light levels get low.

Thought Control Devices

We can already measure and track what is going on in the brain. Is it inconceivable then, to have that measurement automatically trigger some action? For example, even before the electrical patterns of the brain were made “visible,” we measured pulse rate with many different machines. Now, what if instead of sending a signal to a monitor telling a red light to go on when the heart raced, the signal told the TV to turn on? Think of anything that gets your heart racing and the TV would turn on, right?

Call it mind power, thought control or whatever. You can see that such a device has been possible for at least a generation now. With new technology, and more detailed measurements of the actual electric patterns of the brain, how much more is possible?

Someday, an electroencephalograph type of device will be able to more directly read your mind. The technology will eventually get to the point where it can print out the actual words you are thinking. We are a long way from that, but we are right at the brink of building machines that give us thought control of the things around us.

You see, even with the crude measurements being done now, as long as we can choose what to think about, and any resulting change in the brain can be measured, the possibilities are endless. For example, we can already see the changes in the brain when a person thinks about music, versus a conversation. An existing electroencephalograph machine, using electrodes attached to your head, could be set to turn on the lights instead of producing a changing chart when you sing in your mind.

For paraplegics without speech, there’s real hope in this idea. A patterned alternating of thoughts could be used as a sort of Morse code, spelling out words on a screen. They could actually use thought control to make a message appear! At the current level of technology, this would be a tedious process, but the amazing thing is that all the necessary things to build a machine like this are here right now. It’s time for thought control!

Can we build a dragonfly size robotic little doo hickey, which can fly around using vibrational technologies to increase its efficiency in flight? Meaning less fuel expended and/or less battery usage? What if we could do all this with acoustic transducers, new thin taunt materials and induced sound waves? Could such theory actually fly?

It is possible that the resonance generated by the insect could assist in the airflows over the wings and increase efficiency and the rates of flapping of wings could create a harmonic, which could allow for additional abilities, I do not know, but that is possible.

Especially considering some of the findings of Bees and their abilities to generate more lift than is possible using aerodynamic mathematics. Although there are theories, which try or attempt to show how they do it, which are also very interesting in their own right such as vortex creation, deflection and other strategies. Some thoughts and theories of mine;

Sorry if my thoughts are too abstract or all the physics equations have been left out. I am trying to straddle science with the white paper syndrome, while making so the layman can comprehend what I am saying. It should be possible and therefore it is worthy of a good go at it and we should try it. Consider this in 2006.

Should scientists be allowed to play around with the human genome? Should we be screwing around with our own DNA? Is it right to experiment with stem cells? Should we allow robotic parts, computer human interfaces and artificial hearts, lungs and kidneys? What will the future bring and will it be an ethical future or will we cause irreversible evolution and forget what it is to be human?

Presently we see that the BioTech industry is attempting to use that which we already have to make us better. It is competing against the robotic field of medical implants. Which is better for humanity? Should we allow either, both or only one in our future, as many believe that the entire future of the species is at stake? That is to say what it is to be human in the first place you see?

Well in this argument we see real needs for instance as there are injured and maimed Soldiers coming back who are fighting the murderers and International Terrorists and they are happy to get artificial parts to enjoy their life without too much hardship. I myself have a steel rod in my Femur Bone from a motorcycle accident. Most would agree that there is nothing wrong with that right?

Yet where do we draw the line? Do we say no artificial brains, hearts or reproductive organs? Yet what about pieces of them to help the function when they are damaged or what if they are not damaged but one wants an enhancement? Think of implants people get to better their appearance are those really wrong if it helps someone feel better about themselves? Some say it is others argue it is choice. So when do you perceive that it will be wrong? Where would one draw that line? What is humanity anyway? There is no good definition. Will humans become our own Gods, re-designing ourselves? If not then should we continue? And if so, then when will we become God and once we do, will we still be human? Think on this.

In the present day, as countless companies & moguls are looking towards web video websites as a brilliant place to upload content to grab the interest of their potential customers, it’s necessary to differentiate the key principles of using online video marketing websites.

Here are a few crucial items you have to be acquainted with before you start to post professional videos on web video websites.

Always try to use promotional videos that offer value added information to your audience - Some business people erroneously presume you can merely add any sort of advertisement on a video portal, but nothing could be any further from the truth. Each and every video must offer some worthwhile information to the desired market, or start topic of debate.

Undertake some brand of market research on the video channels before distributing your very 1st video - It’s a good idea to allocate some time typing your market’s important keywords into MSN, in an effort to learn what other professional videos are currently available. Then write down the profile names of the most important companies in your niche. Possibly down the line you can become involved in a joint venture or have some sort of cooperation with these organisations.

Bear in mind that each & every video channel has a community built into it - Because of this you are suggested to respect the other members and it’s suggested that you write positive annotations to your rivals’ videos. First & foremost you need to be a member of the society, supplying feedback, ideas etc. And only then must you think of being a marketer & start to advertise your very own 1 & items

Commit yourself to creating quite a lot of promotional videos - You should have a clear strategy for making & posting various videos. If not, your company’s page on the video portals will give the impression of being bare if it merely has one solitary video live. So, assign extra time preparing the making of a number of short videos, instead of one significantly lengthy video.

Online video marketing is one of the most efficient & quickest ways of promoting your organisation just now.

You probably already know how essential uploading your company’s Internet video clip is. For an organisation’s online marketing manager, short format videos are a valuable medium that can effortlessly capture your potential clients’ attention & raise the overall amount of visits to your organisations site. Online videos are tremendously effective in holding the target consumers’ fairly short attention span. Furthermore, if codes are adopted and online video sharing is endorsed, short format video commercials can be a superb way to get one-way inbound links & thus positively affect your sites rankings on the search engines.

If truth behold, Internet video clips have become a useful tool for business or self endorsement. The following are a number of tips to circulating your own short format videos.

Firstly, you can post your Internet videos on your own company website; but this would involve you to find your own video hosting arrangements. Ask your online hosting solutions company if video downloading or video streaming options are supported.

Video downloading is where your visitors need to download your video commercial to their laptops hard drive. They need to save the Web video clip to their own personal computer before they can play it using their computer’s video player or a downloadable video player application. There are hundreds video downloading service merchants that cost nothing. There’s also a progressive downloading mechanism where your Internet viewers can play the short format promotional videos while downloading them.

While video streaming on the other hand entirely does away with the need to download the professional videos and lets instantaneous playback so it offers the most worth to your web viewers. Naturally, getting a video hosting business that supports video streaming can cost you a pretty penny.

Finally, the more fashionable way to distribute promotional videos is posting your sites to video distribution sites which have their very own video hosting platform.

They also have an immense market base and reach; for instance, YouTube receives in the region of thirteen million Web visits each month.

Can we stop killer bee swarms or even locust plagues using high-powered sound waves? Some believe it is possible and others say we can steer them using sound waves too. In an online think tank this subject came up and think tank member Warren states;

“I would be astounded to see a bee survive flight through all of that sound energy. I suspect swarms have frequency related dynamics that can be modified as you suggest for some other advantage, or destroyed as I suggest, to completely destroy their ability to continue organized flight.”

Yes, I would believe this to be so. Although if the bees could survive, thru modulation of their frequency that would not surprise me; although I would like to see how they do it, if they are able too.

Warren states; “For me, at this moment in time; I’d just like to see our species gain the ability to exact some measure of control over one more unknown, therefore intimidating phenomena; swarms, whether bees or others. If their ability to fly is disrupted with a sound weapon then when a bee swarm is found, call 911 and the fire department comes out, opens up the side of a van and targets the swarm.”

Well the doom and gloomers predict the Earth heating up and as it does the dynamics of the food chain will change and the insects as you say are more adapted to us to survive and will indeed be rulers of the surface of said planet well after humans are extinct. If such an unfortunate set of events; ‘global warming’ climate cliff occurs and a rapid increase in temperature occurs [15 degrees F average] then there will be hell to pay with over populated human populations, water supplies and weather. Such things could cause more swarming as insects move to greener pastures. They will want their species to survive and use survival group efforts [swarming] to do that.

In the case of Bees, they provide pollination and help crop yields, if we take out the bee populations due to being afraid of swarms, then we do a disservice to feeding the world of humans. Although Locust Swarms have been touted as plagues and religiously made evil, they are merely fulfilling their niche and do not come that often. Perhaps using the sound to build barriers in areas of dense human populations might be an idea or use the sound to steer them away makes sense. Knocking out an entire swarm of Bees and killing the Queen Bee, means we create a problem for ourselves as those colonies will not divide later to increase the bee populations which are currently dwindling due to a pathogen in the larva. And this is very bad for crop yields. Also we have crop yield issues with the butterflies, which also help pollinate things.

I am not opposed to the idea of finding out the answer to the question, but would warn against a bunch of yahoo first responders and fearing citizens calling in natural bee colonies, which are our friends and help us survive and feed human populations.

If on the other hand some nut case Bio-scientist makes a superior Bee swarm or Bees adapt and evolve in our lifetime to attack humans or any swarming insect for that matter then well that is a different story really. Sounds more like the makings of a Sci Fi novel really like the book “Prey”. But if so I agree that such a device could be mounted in a helicopter for rapid deployment and delivery. Perhaps we might consider all this in 2006.
