Matrix-Style Brain Downloads in 30-Years?
Perhaps the most thrilling sequence in the original film, 'The Matrix' was the rooftop helicopter escape scene. It begins with Neo seeing a helicopter and asking Trinity "Can you fly that thing?" She replies "Not yet," then proceeds to download the required knowledge straight into her cranium. It's science-fiction right now, but will be for real within 30-years, according to a senior member of Britain's Ministry of Defense. Chris Parry, who is also Chief Executive of the Independent Schools Council, a group of private schools, believes that soon kids will be able to download certain lessons straight into their brains. He gives entire foreign vocabularies as an example, enabling you to effectively learn the basics of a language instantly, only having to actually take the time to study the grammar rules afterward. This of course will mean a drastic change in the way kids are taught, potentially turning years-long educational programs into instantly downloadable files.

I hope I'm not around when this happens.

Man to bad the technology isn't already around. Thirty years is just a little to late to provide me with any benefits for school or college. :(

I was wondering how long it would take the posthumanity people to show themselves in more main stream media. Nothing like creating a master race of robotic humans when you've got a god complex and no one reins you in. There will be world war 3 before "ghost in a shell" . Science gone wrong!

I think, that it is a pretty stupid idea, because people will be just like robots. Downloading learning material on their brain, I prefer the old way, you are smart, well good for you. If you are not smart enough, well you still can learn things at a slower pace.

Oh yeah, the end of civilization. Kinda like a few thousand years ago when writing was first invented. No doubt many were complaining that if you can't remember the spoken word, you are embracing the devil if you write it down.

If your comparing posthumanity to writing down words on paper they've got you pretty brainwashed already.
