what if (Score 1)

There is an interesting underlying assumption that all of you have made. How do you integrate chips into the human neural network (ie the brain cells). For any of you that know the complexity of the brain, the rate limiting feature is not the computer chip but the integration of the computer chip to the brain. The other great hype is the future of gene therapy. We are in the process of discovering the secrets of the human genome. What if the geneticist discover a method of developing a brain that would be compatible to computer integration. That would be the missing ingredient (amongst many others). What if the geneticist created a brain that had 1000* the functional ability that we have know without using chips? Only 5% of the brain is being used for cognitive thinking. The wonders of it all. Let's not be too narrow minded.
