Think about how our native intelligence would be improved just by finding a faster way for our brains to access information.

For example the IBM computer that can transmit the library of congress in two seconds. As a practical matter, it doesn't do me much good since reading the article and the posts took 15 or 20 minutes. What if we could bypass the monitor/eye interface and go right from the box to the brain? It will be a quantum leap towards the (drum roll) singularity.

Of course the tortise makes a good point relevant here. Just becasue you can access it, doesn't mean you can process it. Sure would be easier on the eyes though.

if we could download information from the computer to our brain...what happends if theres a virus?(dont really want to think about that.)
