Chip means couples share alarming thoughts

What new hell is this? Prof Kevin Warwick, head of cybernetics at Reading University, is developing a microchip that allows partners to communicate emotions by thought alone. Via satellite technology, the chip will pick up electrical impulses that travel through the nervous system and register a buzzing sound every time the couple's thoughts turn to each other, even when they're thinking about their partner's toenail clippings. Is it possible to conceive of anything more horrific?
