Apr 15 2011: I think this technology could someday be present. It would be very helpful to those who are disabled. There could be a speaker hooked next to the person's mouth and that connects to the brain. The technology could read people's minds and put anything they think in the speaker. They could turn it on and off if they didn't want others to hear their thoughts at the moment. Maybe it could help babies talk at an earlier age. There seem to be endless possibilities with reading minds.
