Black Hat: Richard Clarke: 'Computers Are Best Friend Of Progress, And Security Its Worst Enemy'

Larry Greenemeier writes on InformationWeek:

The convergence of all forms of technology is happening, allowing paralyzed hospital patients to move computer mice via brain waves and treating certain cases of epilepsy and depression through brain stimulation. It won't be long before human-machine interactions that tie the human brain directly into the Internet are possible.
