Question: Do you think that one day there will be a device that enables humans to send messages just by thinking?

Hi Malindi22!

Thanks for your clever question!

I definitely think that this will happen. We have already seen that we can control artificial limbs via thinking alone.

But most astonishing is that this is *not* because we are so clever at making technology – it is because our brains are fantastically good at learning to do new things. So with the right electronics, your brain will easily learn how to work with them, and you can send texts, whatsapps, and chat much quicker than using your fingers to type!
