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.
