Telepathy, once a concept relegated to the
realm of science fiction, is becoming
increasingly plausible through advancements
in brain-machine interfaces and the
capabilities provided by 5G networks. The
integration of telepathic interaction with
mobile devices holds promise for numerous
applications, from enhancing accessibility to
revolutionizing gaming and communication.
However, significant technical, ethical, and
societal challenges must be addressed to
ensure the safe and beneficial use of this
technology. As we move towards a future
where thought-driven interaction becomes a
reality, it is imperative to navigate these
challenges thoughtfully and responsibly.
