Brain downloads 'will make lessons pointless'

[SALFORD RED]

Children will learn by downloading information
directly into their brains within 30 years,
the head of Britain's top private schools
organisation has predicted.

Chris Parry, the new chief executive of
the Independent Schools Council, said
"Matrix-style" technology would render
traditional lessons obsolete.

He told the Times Educational Supplement:
"It's a very short route from wireless technology
to actually getting the electrical connections in
your brain to absorb that knowledge."

Mr Parry, a former Rear Admiral,
spent three years determining the future
strategic context for the military in a
senior role at the Ministry of Defence.
:eek: :eek:

I don't know whether to cry, be scared or be happy for yet more advancements in technology.

Call me shallow or negative but is it just me who sees that article as just plain disturbing?

I could do with that now, with exams coming up:rolleyes:

Did anyone take note that in the Matrix, the machines take over the world and the humans are driven into hiding?
Is that not a concern....

All this is amazing in some way's with these advances of technology, Could this mean in the near future a step toward's erasing people's minds who are suffering from mental health disorder's, trauma disorder's, stress disorders, bereavement, etc,etc...
