Description:	How Feasible is the World Wide Mind? That is the same question researches at PBS asked top scientist in the fields of biology, engineering, and cognitive science. In fact they launched an entire episode on discussing the possibility of hooking up your brain/mind to the internet; very similar to the way computers are today. Eminent scientists and engineers considered if thousands or millions of electrodes "threaded" into the brain could record, analyze, and transmit brain activity. If you read the article you will see that scientist have already manipulated body motions by wiring into ones brain. So the possibility that the Word Wide Mind (WWM) is possible is real. There are skeptics and that is what makes this internet business idea so great. WorldWideMind.com could eventually be the central hub for all information dealing with the WWM project; but it should start out as a simple forum. I won' try to pretend to be qualified to understand or even have a opinion on the possibility of connecting my brain to an "internet." I do know the American population will have an opinion. Building a website that allows interested readers to interact, chat, and discuss topics dealing with the WWM Project could cause quite the stir online....leading into other businesses. What challenges would have to be solved to make such a thing possible? Here are the challenges I found. You will want to find similar topics and create forum categories so users / scientists can discuss them. Physical insertion of the electrodes Managing enormous amounts of data in real time Cracking the neural code of mental activity Translating the output of one brain into equivalent input for another brain Developing modes of communication with the technology that are superior, or at any rate usefully different, to the ones we have now.

Website Software

No need to re-invent the wheel...we would just use Vbulletin. We would also install VBSEO to make it search engine friendly. Read more about our Forum Website Design on WebBizIdeas.com.

Internet Marketing

I would start by getting listed on PBS's resource page on the WWM Project: http://www.pbs.org/22ndcentury/resources.html. This would be a gigantic link in the eyes of the search engines. After that I would start contacting every blog that deals with futuristic technology. Your job will be to (1) convince people to write in your forum (2) get people to link back to you.

A good forum moderator (the owner) will post leading questions..." This is one of the scariest/coolest things I’ve seen in a while. It’s a PBS show written by Michael Chorost, author of Rebuilt. Chorost calls himself a cyborg, part man, part machine. He’s deaf, and the machine part is a cochlear implant to replace his lost hearing. This show is actually the pilot for a new show called 22nd Century. It’s competing with two other shows to become a new series....Do you think it will get picked up?

It would really help if you became really knowledgable in the technologies & science behind the WWM Project. Contributing to the site and getting involved in the WWM Project would really help the popularity of the forum. As you become more knowledgable you may find other opportunities to expand the business...or make the World Wide Mind a reality!
