Right on Tony - though we have run into some language problems on the semantic web. I would be cyborg already if I could solder the chips in. Can't get anyone else to do it.
We might not need the chips, A 3-d virtual environment with light removing false memories (already done in mice) and 'burning in' new ones might be enough. We are down to the synaptic level now. But what is the fear we have of such conversion and enhancement? We can think of ourselves in a much more self-contained form, not even reliant on food, able to directly use energy like rock bacteria, without even photosynthesis. I am scared our technology isn't up to this yet, not of the possibilities.
