I think the kind of neurojacking/total recall technology will be extremely
popular and there will be some extreme uses of it. Remember the film,
"Brainstorm" gave a very good picture of the various uses and dangers. If
you have not seen this film I highly recommend it.
I could imagine how militaries and covert intelligence agencies would
consider this the ultimate training tool. It would probably be cheap as
compared to real world training and could give excellent insights into the
nature of the people being trained. I wonder though if it would be 100% as
instructive and also convincing as the real world. I would think so.
sincerely,
John Grigg
