I'm not sure if that's possible, but if it is that would be pretty awesome. It needs to be like "Hey microchip, where did I leave my car keys?" and it will respond, "Under the chair, idiot." |

do you think microchips like mini computers could be implanted in human brain in the future that would basically give us all the answers we wanted to know would be good for exams. If it were possible and you could afford it would you have it implanted. i know theres research in california uni looking at implants that will help with memory i read it in mail online . |

yes it would be great im not sure if i,d buy it straight away i,d wait to see how it turned out first be great if you could make one to stop ageing too i,m sure that would be a best seller. |

There already are brain implants, though not for those reason. For example there is a brain implant for the treatment of Parkinson and similar diseases. So the idea that we will be putting things in our brain is already coming true, and in the future I think the technology will become more advanced. I think what you are talking about will be possible and perhaps common within the next 30 years, though it might not be an actual chip as we think of today. |
|
yes i think it will be possible in he future too or something very like it |

It isn't really cheating to use memory augmentation to memorize stuff since the information is still in your brain. Personally I don't see why we can't use calculators and phones or computers on exams today. If you can answer all the problems correctly in the set amount of time, then what does it matter how you do it? Being able to quickly find and process information should be a skilled that is rewarded as well. |
|
Well, they call it cheating to use electronic devices. I agree that it's a little strange to still ban their use at this day in age, considering out in the real world you use computers all the time. For example, a regular part of the job of any engineer or scientist is looking up research online because you didn't learn everything in college. |
|
Yes, I think we'll augment our brains with artificial devices as it becomes technologically feasible. It'll be a gradual transition so I'd probably be getting it done once it became the culturally accepted norm. |
|
Why would you want a computer chip in your head...lol |

I'm good without it, personally. |

Everything works out in the end, sometimes even badly.
I feel it would be going too far for me personally. I would not want to be so out-of-touch with my natural state. Technology has already made us dependent and impatient. The thought of my brain having a computer that directly affects my brain is just too much. |
|
I draw the line at mucking around with my body. |
|
Why put these things in the brain, when we already have the question-answering device of which you speak in our hands? It's less expensive to repair and 'remove,' I'll bet. |

I'm not sure if I would use it or not. I'd wait for it to be thoroughly tested, etc., but I wouldn't be opposed to augmenting myself with technology so long as I retained the ability to die. |

Yeah, cause we all know that computers run totally problem-free, right? Think about all the issues - would you rather have Vista or OSX in your head? Let's open the door right into our brains for hackers and viruses... |

They already have chips for treatment of things like Parkinson's disease. So obviously there is room to put more stuff into your brain without hurting things. Which makes sense because your skull isn't entirely filled with your brain. There is room all around it, and other fluids. |
|
Ok, I guess they drain off some fluid or something, because I know if a person's brain swells up it causes problems. That seems to indicate there isn't room for anything new, but yeah, maybe if you drain off some fluid. Or scrape away some bone or something. |
|
I don't see any rational reason why would anyone want a microchip in his head :/ what's next electronic brain...a whole electronic body?................. anyway let's see what about this if those memories would be planted in our brain wouldn't our brain memory then became useless...wouldn't our brain start to fail and to become useless as time would pass? |
|
Anyone ever watch "through the wormhole?" Scientists are already looking into such technology, and given that the brain is basically an organic computer, I don't see why this COULDN'T be. There is a lot of advancing in technology we'd have to come up with, but the premise of it doesn't seem so far fetched. |
