Feeding knowledge directly into your brain, just like in sci-fi classic The Matrix, could soon take as much effort as falling asleep, scientists believe.

Researchers claim to have developed a simulator which can feed information directly into a person’s brain and teach them new skills in a shorter amount of time, comparing it to “life imitating art”.

They believe it could be the first steps in developing advanced software that will make Matrix-style instant learning a reality.

In the neo-noir sci-fi classic, protagonist Neo is able to learn kung fu in seconds after the martial art is ‘uploaded’ straight to his brain.........( Video at link)

So... people in possession of The Encyclopedia Britannica would be better human beings?

Can we upload morality, too?

and hope the chip or whatever the device is does not have a “kill” switch.

and we all know Democrats would make quick use of such a device.

Just because something can be done, does not mean that it should be done. these are words to live by.

JMHO

A lot of the things people imagine (Kung fu...) require an awful lot of muscle memory to perfect.

You could upload all of the materials from an advanced skiing dissertation, but if you have never been on the slopes I imagine it would be a frustrating day.

I guess it’s sort of like having access to a library - just a bit quicker than Google Search.

May sound good, but likely can be used for evil too. Can’t mess with the original stuff God created and His ways without bringing new problems also.

Yes, i was waiting for that point to be made.....imagine mind control loaded into students in schools across the nation. I mean the left have already done a job on young people in our schools and colleges without such software.

very dangerous.

Imagine the political bias issues alone?

This software could really cause an uproar with the Anti-trust crowd.

But the other implication is that it could influence our physical body by making the possibility of joining knowledge and activity. I wonder how that’s done with software.

Today I will have the “Fred Nerks” research download.And I also will be able to water ski at 90 m.p.h. as a side effect?
