Brain control is contemporary
Matt Nagle is paralyzed, unable to move his hands, legs and breathe since he was stabben by a knife.
Now there is a new chance for him to interact with his surroundings with his thoughts. Scientists have implanted a chip in his brain that allows him to interact with a computer and than through the computer with other objects like tv, toster, refrigerator, wife, spaceshuttle etc.
However it is also possible for these objects to start controlling Matt or any other user of this technology. A toster could easily start using Matt to kill his enemies like Mr. Blender. Another scenario is more even more horrific, it would allow people online to tune into Matt’s brain and make him do things they want.
However many industries find this product very useful (braincontrol is always great for power hungry freaks). First interests have emerged from cycling community - apparently Tour de France teams have realized they can brainprogram average people using this technology to cycle even faster than their overdoped professional athletes - and the machine can be hidden in the helmet once it becomes illegal (at this point UCI and WADA are not banning it).
Another application is in political lobying, very soon politicans can become like video game characters that are controlled by heavy industrialists.
