the Bluetooth brain implant.
I call myself lucky to have a 'built in' alarm. Like when I need to catch the early bus of 6.00 it seems to work telling myself that I need to get up at 5.15. And believe it or not my internalized alarm never fails on me.
In 'Brain possibly next Bluetooth frontier' Clovis News Journal draws a technological solution :
Imagine the convenience of controlling your brain via another Bluetooth device. You could answer phone calls without a headset. You could set your brain to go to sleep at particular times so you don’t accidentally start watching Nick at Nite at 11 p.m. and say to yourself seven hours later, “‘Watching ‘The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air’ wasn’t that important.” Or you could program your brain to never forget birthdays and anniversaries, so you don’t have to go to the post office and ask, “How much would it cost to get it there yesterday?”
May be it is appropriate to point to the Christmas message of'Pope Benedict to 'Worship God not technology'. :)
