Once a majority has taken the implant, it is just a matter of flipping a switch. Instead of you controlling the Alexa, it will be Alexa controlling your mind 🤣🤣🤣

Wow, this guy went from saying "Alexa, turn off the lights" to "Alexa, read my mind!" 🤯 Soon, he might order pizza just by thinking about it! Imagine if daydreaming could turn on the whole house — that would be a crazy mix-up! 😂

Not only that the big company can see and hear what you do with your gadget, now they want to know what you're thinking ?

So....this is how it begins❤😂 "the ship that could sing" its a book. Some of you still remember those things. Yknow, books? Mark is the first advanced Cyborg. A horse a cart and a driver was one of the more remedial versions.

Way to go Mark. You now can control the world. Please be kind to us fleshbots, we are at your mercy.

It's not connected to his brain, it's connected to his nerves in his arm, meaning, he thinks of moving his arm up and he moves the mouse up, he is not thinking to move the mouse up.
