Just Nuke It.....

While catching up on my reading, i came across this interesting article on news.sky.com where scientists claim to have invented a machine that gives you 8 hour sleep in just 3 hours. By using a technique called Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, scientists can activate slow waves like the ones your brain gives off when you are in your deepest sleep.

"The TMS device transmits magnetic signals which are harmless through the scalp and skull into the brain where it induces electrical impulses."

So is this a good or a bad idea? Let's analyze the pros and cons together.

Pro: You will not have anymore sleepless nights.
Con: No more excuses of "sleepless night"

Pro: Superb for making sure your buddy doesn't wake up till your face painting is over
Con: I'm usually the victim...lolzzz..

Pro: More time to do stuff.
Con: More time to feel bad about how much more i have to finish.

Am really confused after reading this. It's like sticking ingredients in the microwave and getting a tasty treat in a matter of minutes. Only difference is that instead of food, it's your brain! Do you think this technology will prove to be advantageous to humans. Help me...Cast your votes and let me know
