Re: Why not install a nano chip in each newborn? Program them to

This reminds me of the tale--perhaps urban legend--of the night before Christmas when certain people snuck into the factories where talking Barbies are made, and switched out their voice boxes for those of the talking GI Joes. 

Barbie: "Shoot on sight, men!"  

Joe: "Let's go shopping!"

Why not install a nano chip in each newborn? Program them to
learn languages and communications if they're girls, and toward math if they're boys. Oh, wait, Mother Nature's already done that.

And nano brains, perhaps? I must comment on your comment! You didn't go out barefoot in the snow did you? You're just winding me up. I'm pleased however that you took the trouble to read my St. Valentine article. I hope I could do auslander some good in the process. Keep WARM, man!

If financial aid is needed for that project they should call The White House down here in your neighbor's court. Money is being lined up to be handed out for any and every thing you can think of this would really fit well me thinks.

they stumble as it is on a regular sized keyboard, and my eyesight would do me in, even with glasses....oh well....no no nano for me....

So long as NO ONE tries to explain to me how my computer, TV, telephone
 radio ,and power to the house works I remain happy in the use of all. but if someone thinks for one moment that they are going to implant some foreign object into any part of my person....forget it mate! Groundhog Day

So the computer will be worn as a freckle on your nose...

the keys will be implanted in the fingers, so any surface will be your keyboard... and the monitor will be a holographic thing somewhere in front of your eyes... any necessary hardware (or wetware, in this case) implanted in your forehead.

I understand the Japanese already have a cell phone the  hearing elements of which attach to the thumb, speaking elements to the pinky finger...  Visualize that phone call...
