This makes me think of a caveat to concept of wiring one’s brain to the Internet — that is now beginning to bleed into mainstream media — that should be obvious but perhaps isn’t as obvious as it should be.
Just adding a net connection would be like a search engine in your head. Damn handy, but not life changing. For proper ‘neural-net interface’ (for want of a better term) the brain would need a more comprehensive to store, organise, process etc all that information. Humans were not designed to operate machinery, nevermind to have information downloaded into us. You can’t have a small part of transhumanism — just one upgrade — without the full package, the complete upgrade of human capacity.
Tangentially though, I don’t personally desire H+ for want of upgrading myself. I want H+ foremost to bring myself on par with others. Particularly, to grant myself visual recall. The probability of then exceeding human capability is a (don’t get me wrong, welcome) side effect.
