Not really. It is just faster to think than it is to do. Asimov wrote of the Positronic Brain before our species was technically capable of keeping up with his ideas - along with many other great minds since our existence. We need to remember the cautions said along the way: How with such great discoveries comes the potential to be our downfall. Imagine mind/chip implantation being real and in the hands of those that are in power now? With the decisions they make...?* It is easy to see the story-line from there to where the Borg became what they were. We, as a Species, need to get our proverbial act together and work on getting people in power positions individuals that are there for the People and not themselves. Until then, such great discoveries with many positive benefits will be the stuff of nightmares and actually scary horror flicks - that only WE can prevent from coming true.
Cheers and Kudos to those making such discoveries! What a wonderful story...I hope these are shared in schools - this could be what starts another great mind on a specific course in education. (I'm without kids in school so only know what I hear about schools from the news, which isn't good. Again, about those people in positions of power...)
