I was thinking,

What if you could keep a whole lifetime of memories all the school days learning love and hate good time s bad times etc and just upload it to a chip in some else's brain they in theory have all the knowledge and understanding.

Is there any point in them going to school?

A bit like the matrix idea You now know kung fu..

But how would a computer respond could an algorithm become alive.

Do you need to live extended years if you don't have to study you just know it..
How much could you upload and how much could you process at any one time..how many lifetimes could you live with if several were uploaded into your mind?

LOL,

If I have a book in my hand of complex information I have the information but I don't understand it??????

A bit like a film on DVD I have the film but until I watch it the information is lost on me....When I have watched it I know what the film is<<<there is something I can't grasp here...

Knowledge is information but is it?

I can look twice at the book before and after and each time I look the book means something different..What does it mean to understand?
Has the book changed is it me that's changed or is the book already more than it appears to be<<ie is it perception based?

And is perception effected by belief in reality?

Is information meaningless without understanding? Can you even recognise information...without understanding..ie marks on a stone become language is it all in the eye of the beholder...can you be looking at something important and not even know?

The patterns may vary from person to person- hard to say what further requirements may be needed. Neuroscience in general is a huge medicinal opportunity, with the best and brightest working on it. We're not that far in absolute terms from truly effective Alzheimers therapies, though the model may need to be more proactive than reactive. Certainly the expense of additional screening and early treatment is more than compensated for by extended mental lifespan, independence, and lower demands on family/caregivers.

I fear for the future, but there's upside too. Have you guys seen the glasses that correct one type of colorblindness? Or the implants allowing blind to see, deaf to hear, etc? Soon enough we'll be able to rehab a huge range of issues with bionics....

When I'm an 8'5 900lb cyborg, I'll be nice to kittens.

The human memory is said to have the equivalent of 25 million gigabytes of storage, I think it would be a quite a challenge for silicone to improve on that and fit into your head at the same time :cubehead:

4 years ago , IBM created a atomic HDD- IBM smashes Moore's Law, cuts bit size to 12 atoms | Computerworld
Just 12 atoms per byte .

I would say in a few more years 100's of petabytes could be stored
magnetically.

For a brain cell replacement - memristors ?? Brain-Like Memristors Could Revolutionize Memory Chips at the Atomic Level

This one also blows Moore's law out of the water. Gates and Musk worry
about AI for a good reason - It's almost here ....
