MIND READING

What Do We Want?

It is astounding how something that was once impossible now possible. The Functional MRI, or “Thought Identification,” actually reads the human mind. What was known as science fiction has now become true reality.

Although scientists have made an exceptional job in creating the MRI, they want to go beyond mind reading: they also want to read PEOPLE’S INTENTIONS.

 Yet, many questions arise concerning the MRI and the future technological inventions: Will their use have certain regulations? What are their positive and negative effects? Will there be an invasion of your thoughts? Which group of people will lead and make use of this contemporary instrument: the scientists or the policemen?

In the long run, what really matters is the drastic change that our society will face. Eventually, if the MRI is used inappropriately, dark secrets may be unleashed, which could become the cause of wars. On the other hand, this scientific technology could benefit our communities. The judiciary system would be more efficient, candid, and just in its decisions.

I believe that the MRI’s positive and negative effects balance out. However, it is intimidating to know that our thoughts could be interfered. As Shakespeare once said, “Thought is free.” Without the privacy of our thoughts, we will NOT LIVE IN FREEDOM.
