Does anyone remember the OCZ NIA ("Neural Impulse Actuator")?
It was a gaming input device, a simple headband that measured brain activity externally. For beginners, if you thought really hard of "pitch black" or "bright white," it could measure that and you had your first two thought-controlled buttons. Advanced users could train themselves all the way to several buttons and analog inputs, i.e. control joystick input through their mind.
(just Google/DDG "OCZ NIA" to watch some old review and test videos)
We really need a generic verb for "searching the Internet" that's not a search engine brand-name.
"search"?
How about "search"? Google was originally Google Search.
Maybe, though it could also sound too unspecific, like searching for some physical object.
"To look up" is in use more or less in that sense, actually.
"Surf the information super highway"
Hell yeah :D
Query?
