Integration [3]

After some pondering, John decided that it's useless to dwell on the unknown. He knew that the innovative nature of his idea meant that only through practice would the answer be found. So he set out to upgrade his machine from supporting just hamsters to humans. After all, reading fundamental human emotions onto a computer screen would already be a monumental achievement, and no doubt, somebody else was bound to be on their way to do it.

So no time could be lost! Again, John put all of his efforts into his goal. Soldering, researching, tinkering, adjusting.

Finally he completed his device, but this time he decided to test it on himself. After all, it wouldn’t be fair to anyone if this contraption proved to be dangerous.

One big, wiry helmet on the top of his head and with the flick of a switch the LCD screen started displaying information.

John’s eyes increased to about twice their original size.

The high of success overwhelmed him entirely.

This went on for a while, causing some pretty interesting patterns, as the emotions displayed on the screen changed his emotions in a continuously evolving loop.

Who knew that humans were able to objectify subjective emotions? Many of us thought it might be possible, but John was the one who did it.

John's goal became feasible. He successfully managed to create a practical transformation between human emotions and computer bits. But the road ahead was much harder and biological - a realm that John had avoided at all costs until now.
