Um, excuse me? Literacy and education don't come for free, you know.
That, and the programming of the silicon is generally done once, on
one machine, and then just loaded by others like it. I don't know of
anyone who has been able to download any of his schooling into the
analog computer of anyone else. Compile time applies to each person's
analog gray matter computer. No RPMs there.
And, boy, would I welcome the ability to download a foreign language
directly into my brain.
And what would you choose to get rid of to make way for that new
language? Although the capacity of the human brain is large, it is not
infinite.
I wonder how we can measure when we are near the limit of capacity?
