BRAIN IN TRANSITION. "The externalization of memory [via the use of external symbolic storage systems] has altered the actual memory architecture within which humans think, which is changing the role of biological memory, the way in which the human brain deploys its resources, and the form of modern culture. The human mind has long been a hybrid structure built from the vestiges of earlier biological stages and combined with our new external symbolic systems."" " http://lnkd.in/bzHN6Xv View in LinkedIn

BIOLOGICAL BRAIN ATROPHY (after all who can do mental arithmetic any more?). "My exocortex is so useful that it's made redundant my common senses for recall. My abilities to recognize information are firing on all cylinders, but my inability to recall information becomes terribly worrisome whenever I'm disconnected from my notes.""

BANKERS IN JAIL? Ever wondered why bankers are never jailed for their ongoing and continued criminal malfeasance that make headlines almost monthly? "JP Morgan now has a contingency fund of $23bn to cover legal expenses. It also said that it could face litigation-related expenses of another $6.8bn." On ~$24 bn of net income. With this sort of astounding legal defense capability, they simply outgun the government lawyers. " " http://lnkd.in/bEnHSJx View in LinkedIn

TEXTING IS LANGUAGE. "A second order effect of maintaining so much information in easily-retrievable: my short and long term memory have both atrophied, as has my verbal communication. I'm capable of writing a question rapidly with the information that I have available and liberal use of buffering bits of information... but if I attempt to verbalize any of this knowledge, the result is this sputtering mess of cache misses and inaccessible context attributable to the lack of said buffer.""

"SYNTHETIC TELEPATHY is a communication system based on thought, not speech. It can be used to control for example a prosthesis and cure diseases such as Parkinson’s disease but can also decode the patterns used to study cognitive behavior such as memory, learning and emotion. With nano technology, the digital information can be recorded using the new quantum-inspired computers."" " http://lnkd.in/bUCmXiE View in LinkedIn

A BIT CONSCIOUS. "Ray Kurzweil is of the opinion that by 2040 to 2045, we will be able to literally upload the contents of our consciousness into a computer."" " http://lnkd.in/bG32hNM View in LinkedIn

VIRTUALLY FOREVER. "But if indeed we are ever able to inject our very minds into the digital realm, the obvious implication is that our consciousness need never terminate—we need never die. We can hang out indefinitely in fantastically rendered digital worlds, and load ourselves into a Cyberdyne X-2000 Mind Vessel when we have business in the real world; transmit ourselves through space, perhaps even through time, and share knowledge instantaneously across all of humanity.""

IoT TO AUGMENT YOUR BRAIN. "For Google CEO Eric Schmidt, the next step in technology is the same that it has always been — augmenting humanity to handle information that a human brain couldn’t otherwise keep up with, and just make things work."" " http://lnkd.in/b4w7n5E View in LinkedIn
