10 Things We Learned From Elon Musk On Joe Rogan Experience
3. Verbal Communication Could Be A Thing Of The Past In As Little As A Decade
With the talk surrounding Neuralink in full swing, the conversation ranged from the imminent applications of the technology, all the way into the far-reaching possibilities of what implantable brain-machine interfaces could be capable of in the not so distant future.
Joe excitedly asked about what the coming years could bring for such devices, with Musk stating that the implants could eventually be used to restore limb functionality and provide wheelchair-bound people with the ability to walk again.
Never one to shy away from a bold prediction, Musk stated that he believed that the communicative capabilities of devices such as the ones being developed by his company will make non-verbal interaction a reality, and even went as far as stating that if developments continue to accelerate at the current rate, humanity could be communicating entirely through telepathic transmissions in just ten years time.
