I recently read an article about a robot that can be controlled by human brain signals. The human, in this case a paralyzed individual, wears a skull cap with electrodes that picks up and amplifies the electronic signals emitted by the brain. This is difficult, but fairly straight forward. The subject thinks about an action such as moving a finger and the scientists isolate the brain signals associated with the thought process.

Every generation has its thought leaders. Mine had Stephen Covey and The 7 Habits of Highly Successful People. Hearing of Stephen’s death this week I looked at my bookcase to see a copy of his seminal work. While I believe I gave the original copy away, his work was so powerful I made the effort to pick up another copy. This is one of the few books that I thought important enough to have its physical presence near me through all the office cleaning campaigns.
