If you could plug into a computer and download any knowledge you wanted so that you knew it more or less permanently, would you?
Would you feel like you were cheating? Getting something for nothing? Would this be good for the human race?

knowledge like how to build a bomb with everyday cleaning supplies found in any kitchen?
i dont think there is evidence that "knowledge" has decreased fighting, wars and human suffering a whole lot in the last few hundred centuries. it seems that the benefits of knowledge are relative to the negatives and they move in proportion to each other.

Modules for mathematics, foreign languages, the complete works of Shakespeare, bomb-making. Anything you could find on the web.

This is the future. I would do it and I don't see it as cheating, it's information gathering. Who gets cheated?

Like they did in the Matrix? Yeah, fun for some things. Other things are fun to just learn as well though, that is where the challenge is, learning.

There are certain things I'd like to download this way - math, some science, etc. but I enjoy the learning process with things I'm interested in/life experiences, so the download wouldn't do.
I'd love to be able to download info into OTHER people though, lol! |

I would store as much information as would fit, starting with the unabridged dictionaries of every language, past and present, which were available.

I'm guessing that unlike Johnny Nemonic this data would actually be usable to us and not need to be dumped to make room for more? If so, I'd do it, though I guess my big problem with it would be that since I'm sure that it would be very expensive then the powerful would just be more powerful and that's a scary thought. Conversations at parties would probably be really boring too.

I would definately do it. Infact I was thinking about this issue just last night.... science will eventually learn how to manipulate the brain to do things like this....

But what if we gain all this new knowledge and shit, wouldnt our brains and our heads get a lot bigger ??

Has any of you noticed that ignorant people seem to be happier, they have less to worry about because they don't understand the things they are supposed to be concerned about ;-)
I'd just download a bunch of porn, someone else can have the knowledge ;-)) |

After that I'd write a virus that uploads from the brain of the customer at the same time as it downloads. ;-)
