Other Man infects himself with Computer Virus

Hey,

May have been posted here already but couldn't find a thread for it.

I was rather shocked when I read this, I mean, c'mon, is this going to far or is this going to change life as we know it?

Discuss.

I don't think its that shocking personally... The fact that the chip is in his arm in the first place is more shocking than the fact the he (essentially) reprogrammed it.

 

So many questions.

 

I could actually use a chip like that for tons of stuff.

 

Exactly. This whole experiment could have been done without anyone implanting anything in their bodies. I am not impressed.

 

There's another guy called Kevin Warwick, who I saw speak the other week. He did exactly the same thing and is also from the University of Reading. Here's a summary of his work

 

We've found a way to "Kill" Terminator. Cheers, mates!

 

Kind of silly for him to do this!!

 

Yeah - I think he had the RFID tag implanted a long time ago.

Must be a guy who loses his swipe card a lot
