Nutshell: Neural implants will guide us to know knowledge via the internet just as the written word guided knowledge in the past.
Vision:Given nanotechnology and the availability for neural implants present today – such as optical cameras for the blind – the implanting of assistance chips in the neural pathways will be the next long-term step. Just as a computer can store data for retrieval, so will the chips store data appropriately for our retrieval.
