Japan is developing a new generation of consumer electronics devices that can read a user's mind and respond to their wishes automatically.
These machines use brain-machine interface (BMI) technology that lets users use thought to perform tasks remotely. For example, you could change the TV channel or turn on the air conditioner with your mind. There is also a suggestion from mastermind Mr Yamauchi that this technology can be installed in an automobile that will sense when the driver is hungry, and promptly drive to the nearest Wendy's family restaurant. However, this technology opens a can of worms that Phillip and Alison can barely scratch the surface of in this brief conversation. And yes, it is possible to scratch the surface of a can of worms!
