Not long ago, I was talking to someone about the potential for thought swapping social networks in the future. That is the ability to convert your thoughts into one and zeros, and send them over the Internet, and into someone else's brain as a "thought mail" for them to think on. Once we have this technology, we would be able to upload all the information you needed for a PhD in any given academic endeavor. Okay so let's talk about this for second, because there might be limitations, things we haven't considered yet.
Namely, how much uploaded information can the human mind take all at once? If we were to overload the human brain too quickly we could exceed its bandwidth. People need to sleep to have their memories gel perfectly. If not, people often go crazy if they don't get the REM sleep. So how much information could we upload into the brain without causing people to go crazy?
Consider if you will that you can watch 6-movies back-to-back and remember them all, and if you sleep for ten hours afterwards you have a very good chance of doing so without any problems, so that's a lot of memory data. Would that be the limit? If you watched eight or 10 movies back-to-back, and I'm talking about Hollywood movies, then your mind may accidentally mix all those stories together if you didn't sleep and defrag that content. Six movies back-to-back at approximately 2 hours each is 12 hours of information.
In the case of getting an education, you need to learn all of the information quite well with very good memory retention. Twelve hours of lectures at the University level is a lot of information to take in at one time, it may be the upper limit, although I am just guessing, because I don't know the answer to this, however I do know enough to ask the question. Since no one has been able to answer this question yet, perhaps we need to pursue this, and do some research on it. Why you ask?
Because it is my belief that by 2025 we will have rudimentary thought swapping programs, and by 2035, you will be able to upload information in your brain from a secondary source. And this is quite good news, because you won't have to slave away reading a textbook, or attend all those classes, or pay ridiculous sums of money for information which will be outdated before you pay off your student loans. Indeed I hope you will please consider all this and think on it.
