Modern technologies expand people's opportunities for work and entertainment.

British Army veteran John Noble had a Neuralink chip implanted. Thanks to this, he got the opportunity to literally control a PC with the power of thought.

He recently celebrated an important milestone — 100 days since the chip implantation surgery:

Looking back, the whole journey feels like science fiction that has somehow become my everyday reality [...] It's only been 100 days, and I can't imagine life without the chip. N1 didn't just give me a new way to use a computer — it gave me a new way to live.

John Noble posted a gameplay video on social media. He has been playing World of Warcraft for several weeks, controlling the character with the power of thought:

By day 80, I was ready for bigger challenges. That's when I first launched World of Warcraft, controlling it only with the power of thought. The first attempt was clumsy, but once my brain and [brain-computer interface] synchronized, it became pure magic. Now I explore Azeroth hands-free — at full speed, no mouse, no keyboard, just the power of thought. It's truly amazing.
