Forward-leaning scientists and researchers say advancements in society's computers and biotechnology will go straight to our heads — literally. Using a combination of nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, and other more traditional computing, researchers say humans will be able to seamlessly connect their brains to a cloud of computers to glean information from the internet in real-time. In recent experiments, researchers have already demonstrated the capability to conjoin human brains in collective tasks in what they call BrainNet. Though functional, networks like BrainNet are are still rudimentary compared to what researchers say will likely exist in the future. Interfaces connecting human brains directly to a computer may not be as far off as you think according to scientists.
