We live in a new age, where technology advances at an amazing speed each day and where we constantly having to work hard to keep up with the new technological advances. MRI or magnetic resonance imaging is one of the many new medical technologies that have help understand and see the human body better. Currently the MRI is able to read people mind by performing test where the person is a shown picture and the computer process that the person processes the picture. Later it can show you what you where thinking. Amazing or Scary? These new technological advances help us unlock secretes in the brain and how they think but what will happen when one day for example they can really “read people’s minds”. Are minds are suppose to be our private, our little secret island but with technological advance that can read out mind is it the end of the seclusion in our minds? Is it even ethical? It is fundamental for a person to have privacy and be able to keep their thoughts to themselves. What is to happen if we are forced to share our minds? Chaos, no one is going to let the government or doctors read people’s minds against there will, it is probable that new laws will be created to keep the mind private for the people.
