“In the distant future, we may be able to communicate by sending our thoughts through a
network directly into someone else's brain. We're decades away from such technology, but

thoughts directly to a computer. Perhaps 50 years from now we'll all use an electronic
version of telepathy.” - Jonathan Strickland, https://electronics.howstuffworks.com
