This allows the teacher to present the information on a large screen similar to three-d. A feature of the high definition television is the ability to insert a device into the television and transfer data by using a personal computer, audio player, video game, or other special cable.

In the future when it comes to interrogation technology will allow computers and the human brain to almost be linked as one. It will have the concept of a lie detector test except much more advanced. You can look up and see what the human brain is thinking and feeling rather than just speculating. In the case of a lie detector test it cannot be used in court because to at least a degree the test has a certain amount of speculation.
