They have developed a wheelchair that can move on thoughts alone. Its supposedly the fastest reacting brainwave reader thingy out there too. Thought it was pretty cool maybe you guys would enjoy!

And what about those with ADD? Would it just run around the house aimlessly on it's own laughing for hours about nothing?

Or those with OCD? Would it drive forwards and back every few mins while counting along with you?

Just a couple thoughts

I just assume my Toyota knows me whenever it turns on a little green light that says "COOL!"

Of course I've got a sassy Mercury Villager van that turns on a red light and calls me an "Air Bag" whenever I start it up.
