Firstly, have a look at this patent by Microsoft, Method and apparatus for transmitting power and data using the human body.

I only skimmed through the long page, but from what I understand, we are taking steps to the realization of the Matrix, or better, Ghost in the Shell. [XD]
I imagine myself, many years from now, wires plugged into the back of my neck, lying comfortably on my armchair with a huge projector screen in front of me. Without twitching a muscle, I send electric signals to my computer to open up media player to watch anime. Play First Person Shooters with better, more responsive control. Feed myself coffee as I code websites as fast as thinking them. This is what I’ve been dreaming of, being truly wired to my computer~ [X)] (Hence the nick wyred)
I’m back to feeling a little useless recently. I have my goals but I just lack the self-discipline to keep myself focused on them. I tried to motivate myself by comparing myself with friends who are doing better. Wake up the next morning and I lose that motivation. Telling myself to take things easy, work on my own pace just makes me more lazy. Oh well, like the saying goes, “It’s all in the mind.”
It’s now time to knock off from work, and I shall enjoy my weekend completing Doom3 and playing FFXI.
