Future technology

Welcome to mbctalk,

  Here I am talking about future technology that will change the life of techno-savvy people.

Our brains may someday be able to directly connect to vast cloud-computing networks in real-time, allowing us to gain Matrix-style instant access to the world's knowledge by simply thinking about a specific topic, scientists claim.

According to research published in the journal Frontiers in Neuroscience, exponential progress in nanotechnology, nanomedicine, artificial intelligence (AI), and computation will lead this century to the development of a "Human Brain/Cloud Interface" (B/CI).

The B/CI concept was initially proposed by futurist-author-inventor Ray Kurzweil, who suggested that neural nanorobots could be used to connect the neocortex of the human brain to a "synthetic neocortex" in the cloud.

Our wrinkled neocortex is the smartest, 'conscious' part of the brain, according to the researchers from University of California, Berkeley, and the Institute for Molecular Manufacturing in the US.

Robert Freitas, the senior author of the research, proposed neural nanorobots would provide direct, real-time monitoring and control of signals to and from brain cells.

"These devices would navigate the human vasculature, cross the blood-brain barrier, and precisely auto position themselves among, or even within brain cells," Freitas said in a statement.
