"The Internet was a way to connect computers, and now it can be a way to connect brains."
"We want to take the knowledge of a brain and transmit it directly from brain to brain."
That's a wonderful idea and goal, no sarcasm intended at all, but the problem is that one of the internet's unpredictable side effects is the shutting down of the brain. All one needs to do is either read the comments section of any news site or the actual contents of most political ones and you'll see that in action. :-S
Connect 3/4ths of the brains on the internet and all you'll get is a sine wave. :(
