The ability to externally save human actions and thoughts will lead to the ability to download new actions and thoughts directly to the brain and central nervous system."Write" patents by just thinking while remote directing a plane's course and sending an action plan to robots while downloading the latest motorcycle speed reflex upgrades.

Experience a pack of wild monkeys swinging through the Amazon. Be Pax Thien in his next blockbuster NeuralMAX movie.

Live Braincasting
Experience an NBA championship game through player brain connections. In real time. Feel the dunks. Hear the net.

Science Non-Fiction
If humans live to evolve another few hundred years, parents may opt to grow neural bio interfaces onto their fetal children's brains. Kids will be born with the ability to immediately interface with the net.
