If you could connect a computer directly to your brain would you and why? what fears would you have? what ethical questions do you see?

I would like to connect a computer to my brain because I would want to make a backup of my memories!

Oh yes! If I had the option to interact with a computer via my brain I would go for it without a doubt. Imagine all the possibilities with the unlimited storage space and ultra processing power of the brain!

Plus, you have less of a chance of memory loss.

Yes, then I could just think of what I want my PC to do. As long as there was absolutely no way of reprisals such as brainwashing via secret organizations etc. And no way of hacking my brain.

No, that must really damage my cell brains, unless I was blind and connecting it will help me to see, otherwise I don't see any other way I would :P, I mean it's spending hours in front of it and has side effects imagine if we connect it directly!!!!!!

No, I wouldn't. I would be afraid that something would go wrong and damage my brain. And the thought of humans being connected to computers scares the crap out of me.

I'd wait until there was an approved way to do it, then maybe!

I don't want to have to put up with memory dumps if I were using Windows for my brain. If I were using Macs for my brain, I wouldn't want to put up with Flash freezing fairly frequently. If I were using Linux to power my brain, I wouldn't want to see my life through a Terminal Window.

Just face it, our brains are more powerful and reliable than computers ever will be.

I have thought about this before. Be able to surf the web whenever I want, always be signed into my messengers, play video games in my brain when I'm bored, and just do everything.
