Soon we will be able to silently communicate with each other. And perhaps translate our thoughts into other languages.
Thoughts in the form of nerve signals are intercepted by a neckband and translated into words. Currently the system only understands 150 words, eventually it will recognize the full gamut, much like word recognition software. The device could then translate the words into another language prior to transmitting.
The device only picks up thoughts intended to be spoken, so it doesn't read your mind. At least not yet. :)
