The Internet of Thought will be possible this century

Thanks to neuronal nanobots, we can download information from the Matrix-style cloud

The current Internet will give rise this century to the Internet of Thought, a universal virtual space in which brains can be interconnected in real-time thanks to neuronal nanobots. Downloading Matrix-style information, improving empathy, and creating a global culture are the potential advantages of this technology.

In a few decades, it will be possible for the human brain to be founded in a universal virtual space in which the thoughts of human beings could be interconnected in real-time, according to research published in the journal Frontiers in Neuroscience.

The perspective that Ray Kurzweil outlined in 2014: “We will have nanobots that will connect our neocortex to a synthetic neocortex in the cloud, and that will convert our thinking into a biological and non-biological hybrid”, thus beginning to take shape in the human horizon, according to the 12 authors of this research, from different academic institutions in the United States, Russia, and Australia.

The research explores what these authors call “the brain/cloud interface” and explains the…
