Imagine this: downloading knowledge to your brain, instantly!

I came across this link today, and I just couldnt help but throw in a little bit of imagination on wut this could mean to us human in the future.

The news is about putting special proteins, or neurons, onto silicon chips, so that brain cells can actually communicate with semiconductor devices. The implications? Well, with a mix of my imagination, you can actually put stuff like a flash drive (wut u use in USB key) in your brain to store data. So, when your brain needs the data, it can "communicate" with the embedded flash drive. Eventually, you can do the stuff that were shown in the Matrix movie, and just download knowledge (e.g. how to drive a plane) to the flash drive in your brain instantly, and there you go, you know how to drive a plane now!

Freaky...
