One of the things I wish the most technologically is simply being able to record my thoughts. Sometimes in the middle of a stream of thought going back and putting it on paper, taking notes disrupts the process somewhat. Also obviously translating visual imagination and recollection is more difficult (more for someone that wasn't trained artistically). My memory is imperfect too and I've forgotten a few ideas I thought were amazing because I didn't write them down at the right time.

I, for one, welcome the mind-reading devices.

I'm sure it'll be limited by physical contact so I'm not much worried about some science fiction scenarios. However, the implications for police are indeed worrisome, enough it should warrant specific legislation as soon as possible (i.e. non-consent mind reading should be made a grave crime, and a war crime, as soon as the technology is available)
