Science fiction  turns into reality.
Northwestern University experts are currently working on a brain chip connected to the Internet.
 Which makes people think of information is immediately answered by Google or Wikipedia, for example
If it happens and works, it is. Will make humanity at another level of intelligence
what do you think ???

This is a bad idea. How do we know? You can find false info in Google, and tons of it in Wikipedia. Using the eyes to read and see pictures of info in Google and Wikipedia, even though it is much slower, allows one to filter out what is false much easier. This keeps people from believing in science and other fiction that Google and Wikipedia want to force people to believe in.

You are right. But if that happens, you can know what is real and what is false.
Through brain analysis. And a faster search time through the eyes.

... if the connections are simple, and if they don't stimulate aspects of the subconscious in ways that start  to influence your perception of reality.

Interconnectivity through smart phones has produced a bizarre euphoria in lots of kids. Coming down off this euphoria has caused suicides.

I don't like the idea of controlling me. But I do like the idea of having access to more knowledge.

If it is true and successful, then I say that is impossible. How can we entrust an answer to Google and Wikipedia from a question that there are still many things that are not wrong in these two sites?

If a person reaches this progress, it will be easy for him to know what is wrong and what is right.
 Imagine that your mind is an informative encyclopedia.

Nah, I think humans will just rely too much on the internet then. So I don't support this kind of innovation, it's can bring more harm to us as humans, why not scientist discovered how to tap those untapped brain cells in our mind so that we can used more of our brain in a very positive way?

It will have its pros and cons certainly.
Your idea is that the entire brain cells are being exploited.
 Because we work only through a small part of our brain.

Definitely a lot of pros and cons and we could hear a lot of arguments about it.

For me we should left our brain as how it was design. Although its better if they can kind ways to exploit the entire brain but putting a chip in my brain? Thanks but no thanks.  ;D

I would rather keep it intact and I love how it functions normally.

Imagine you can understand the edge of the house and make calculations in your mind.
Can not you profit at the casino?
Or when you write a topic in the forum you will be able to formulate good information and will take the maturity  ;D ;D ;D

Are they going to implant this chip to a volunteer?

I'm thinking on how they are going to test this chip, for sure they are going to try it out from someone. And I agree with the sentiment of badecker that not every information that we can find on the web are facts. There are false information that we really can't deny.

Yes, I agree, science fiction becomes reality, I agree

Anybody will do anything they can think of for some reason. Part of this idea is to distract from the fact that they are doing this already, without a chip, through advertising.

Perhaps they will do so in the future.
 Everything is possible ... but imagine the person who will be a volunteer.
 He controlled the owners of the experiment.
Or died or there were other mistakes.
It is a great risk

Science fiction, and even everything we've seen in the movies will become true.
Science is evolving. We are no longer surprised by something.
We will die the victims of technology.

This sound like a really bad idea since slowly we are becoming robots, by implementing different chips in our body just to upgrade our skills and abilities. If you would have such a chip in your brain you couldn't call yourself human anymore since you are working with powers that are not human. Either way I also see a good part in this since people could process information a lot faster so they would complete tasks faster and help our society evolve at a much higher level.

This is a bad idea for humans, Humans becoming a technology? This era of technology makes a lot of people becoming more witless by the fact that they're knowledge is base on the internet. So what if, if they're brains are connected to internet? It's a disaster to humanity. Also humans can easily browse pornography thru their heads. (Facepalm)

Risk is there for real. That what's boggling my mind on how is this going to implement.

There will be some test requirement and with the usual tests that they conduct, they are using animals as test subjects. If you have that fact and information on how they are going to test this, that's what I wanted to know. But if they will use this with a living human subject, I don't know what to say with this kind of experiment.  :-\

Well that's just basic and I'm sure you can do it without those chip on your brain. Profit at the casino? You mean you gonna take the house and win because of a chip in your brain? Writing a topic in this forum? You can simply used some brain power in it and you don't have to complicated things.  ;D

I think that man is smarter than the Internet. He created the machine and he is able to stop it. For porn sites it's really a bad side.

Certainly they use animals to experiment at first.
But this is dangerous for humans no matter how good the results are, because evolution has become dangerous in such areas as cloning.

Why the search engines have to be Google or Wiki if they can make a more reliable and sophisticated search engine. This concept kinda reminds me of the anime SAO.

If it is anything like SAO, I'm out. Don't wanna lose two years of my life to a stupid game.

Your idea is great they can possibly create a search engine that has come to mind.
It is more reliable. And his information is better.

But I want to be in SAO. I mean I want to experience futuristic games so I hope technology will advance before the day I die. That is why enjoy playing all sorts of online games (https://to.crwd.cr/cm). It makes me feel so good and I feel like I am a protagonist of something. Of course, I know there are a lot risks in what I am saying but it's the kind of gamble I want to take. Maybe this chip is the one step we need but who knows what other sci-fi ideas can brought to reality with the technology we are building right now.

 I believe that information in Google can not be trusted

This is beautiful, but you can not determine the time of your death. Also, when you use the slide,
life may become eternal. No one knows about it.

It is very likely, since the human body is similar to a machine, I think that technological integrations can be great advances, not only in the brain, but also some parts like arms and legs with much more strength than the natural ones. The time will come when the brain will be integrated into a totally artificial body to guarantee the survival of the human being.

I wouldn't take Wikipedia as an example of trustworthy information!

Does that make me scared alone?

I think the bad will outweigh the good. I mean it would be a great achievement but why would I even want something to plug in my brain. What happens if something goes wrong.

Why do you have any other suggestions.
I think he can check the reliability of the information.
And choose what is right.

Maybe it's like movies.
Your mind is stuck in the search engine.
Or even may cause pain or death .
It's hard to try it.

Whether you take it as reliable or not,  a lot of scifi things that seemed impossible years back actually camr true already. And this by far isn't the end of it since the internet has taken us to a highway towards technological advancement.  Unless we destroy ourselves by being stupid with the technology and knowledge we have, we may be able to achieve scifi level tech in the future.
