Internet of things: Plug in your brain

When I got my first mp3 player, the Sony 128Mb UT311A,

I was fascinated by how easily we could transfer music and carry it along. I was in the 1st year of my engineering course at that time.

It got me thinking about how I could increase the storage for such devices. So I thought of making a IDE-to-USB adapter which I could use to connect my IDE hard-disk to the mp3 player. The adapter would supply necessary power for the hard-disk and also fetch data from the disk. The player would process the data and play music.

Fast forward to the present, What if we could connect our brain to a music player which was connected to the internet? We’d just remember a song and just like how we start humming the song, the music player will play it in our ears. The player will search an online music dictionary, match the music pattern in our mind against a plethora of music data and then play out the song inside our ears.

Maybe we would just need to plug-in a speaker into our body for the music to play out loud for others to hear. How’s that for mood setting?
