well Facebook has said this week of their developer conference f8 that they have clear plans to read your mind and I'm not talking figuratively now this is one of those tech stories that is both awesome and terrifying during Facebook's f8 developer conference keynote this week the company revealed plans for a quote brain computer interface which will be able to at least at some level read your thoughts the technology is being developed at Facebook building eight division dedicated to highly advanced tech projects beyond the likes of augmented rally projects the company is already working on according to The Wall Street Journal this silent speech interface will quote help people type 100 words a minute from their minds about five times faster than we currently type on our smartphones now this will not only stand it benefit those of us who just want to type our emails faster but those who have some sort of physical handicap and are unable to do so at all apparently this function would also work when you're not even looking at your device I want to see how that would work but what's exciting is this really opens up the possibility of yes I'm always talking about it but wearable imagine some sort of hidden earpiece or glasses or some sort of thing where you can control with a voice dictation much easier than you currently can now I would be pretty cool did I do
