What if in the future years of experience and education can be imprinted to someone's brain in a minute.

With a smart-phone I can get a step by step instruction manual on almost any task. I am not interested in the notion of "intelligence" since I do not think it exists. Perhaps you will consider it to be a cheap parlor trick. But I can tell you, if I traveled back to the 1980's with a copy of wikipedia on my phone, I would be able to change the world.

If I attach a computer to my mind that does the math for me, and I learn to use that machine to remind me of the rules of math, then Idc if "I" am the one doing the actual math.

Hell, the parietal lobe is merely a tool for the rest of the brain to make sense of the data coming from some of my sensors. The "me" and "you" are filled with these ideas that are not really conducive to development.

While I accept the notion that I cannot download a memory produced by someone else. I am certain that I can download and learn concepts and explanations faster than through the senses. I can also produce a feed-back that enervates the neurons I want in order to consolidate a specific memory, making my learning alot faster, and more guided by overt want, rather than a subconcious tendency.

I play a guitar. I have a very select amount of songs I know how to play, some I have made by myself. They suck, but then again, I have not spent that much time on it. Yet, you would, if you heard me play the songs I practiced, think that I was good.

If I had a processor that could suggest what note to chose next, one that could present all the theories about music in one go, then I would be able to grasp it faster.

Idk how many times I have learned one aspect of anatomy (that is part of my current studies) only to forget it quickly enough. If I could be reminded instantly, then I would not have to spend all the time I have on consolidating factual knowledge. I could instead spend that time learning new things.
