Professor Noam Chomsky talked about something related, that there has to be an internal language in the brain and that human language are just an external version of this underlying language of the brain. It is a pretty dangerous technology of course, but there are also amazing positive applications. It would tear down the language barrier if you really could decode this language of the brain because based on that you could literally translate your thoughts into words.

and..if you load in the characteristics of that persons personality by choosing the type of search engine they are/were.you will get a close simulation to that persons reactions to ideas and activity that is experienced.that's where the droid body comes in! what do I know, I have no college degrees. I'm a musician.lol

I'm Tom Mitchell also! this is interesting stuff.I had been telling my Dad for years, eventually there will be computers that can record all your memories and dreams.Possibly the the gateway to immortality. as we age our memories will all be stored in hard drives and who knows, consciosness may occur after a certain amount of info has been stored.as long as a search engine is able to differ what emotion is connected to what memory.until you are truly unplugged you will live on in machines.
