Elon Musk envisiges a future where smartphones are obsolete and communication happens directly through the brain.
According to Musk, Neuralink the brain-computer interface that his company is developing, could eventually replace phones entirely. Imagine navigating the internet, sending and receiving text messages, or even making calls, all with just your thoughts. This sounds like fictional science. However, Musk believes the integration of humans and artificial intelligence is a necessary mileage for human evolution.
Neuralink’s potential extends far beyond convenience; it could disrupt the field of medicine, communication and the way we interact with technology forever. The future Musk envisions is not just coming, it's already in the pipeline.
NEURALINK will make Smartphones completely obsolete.
Neuralink is a company that was found by billionaire Elon Musk and develops brain-computer interface technology. Its goal is to connect the human brain to computers so as to help people with conditions like paralysis or blindness, and eventually to upgrade human capabilities. The gadget comprises a small chip inserted in the skull, which can decode brain signals and potentially allow users to control devices with their thoughts. FDA approved the human trials in 2023.
How extraordinary human brain is
Human brain functions extraordinarily, generating unimaginable number of electrical impulses on a daily basis.
Their function surpasses, by a far magnitude, the combined activities of all phones globally.
The brain's fundamental unit is the neuron, and neurons communicate through electrical signals called action potentials.
The brain has around 86 billion neurons that have the ability to fire multiple impulses in a second.
Some estimates suggest an individual brain fires around 10^15 (1 quadrillion) impulses per day.
This immense activity emanates from constant processing of sensory inputs, thoughts, emotions, and bodily functions, even during sleep.
There are approximately 7 billion smartphones worldwide and each of the phone generates electrical signals for calls, texts, and data processing.
While phones are active, their electrical impulses, mainly from microprocessors, are notably less per gadget in comparison to a single brain.
Taking into account when all phones operate simultaneously, their joint signal output is significantly lower than the brain.
The comparison between brain and phones highlights the brain's unmatched efficiency and computational complexity that has evolved over millions of years.
Unlike phones, which majorly rely on binary logic and limited tasks, the brain integrates collosal networks for memory, cognition and consciousness, hence regarded as a biological supercomputer with supremacy over modern technology.
