Attitude poll about the internet (and cyborgs?)

463.com and Zogby internation released the results of a poll about the attitudes of about 20.000 people concerning the internet. The questions concerned a wide range of subjects ranging from implants to God and significant others.

Two interesting answers were:

- Implant the Internet in Your Brain. Americans may love the Internet, but most
are not prepared to implant it into their brain, even if it was safe. Only 11% of respondents said they be willing to safely implant a device that enabled them to use their mind to access the Internet. Interestingly, men were much more willing than women. Seventeen percent of men said they were up for it while only 7% of women wanted to access the Internet using their mind.

- Kids Chips.
While most Americans don’t want the Internet implanted in their brain, they are more willing to insert a chip into a child 13 or younger to help track them if they are lost, abducted, or just tend not to be where they are supposed to be. Nearly one in five Americans said they would do so to track a child’s whereabouts. Interestingly, there was no difference in opinion among parents who had younger children and those who did not.

So while we're hesistant about subjecting our own brains to implants it is ok for our kids so we can keep an eye on them?
