30 years down the line a human will wake up in his climate controlled bed in an idyllic large scale people-zoo, think about what information he wants, and immediately his 900TB ferroelectric compute-in-memory exobrain will read his thoughts via his brain-computer-interface, and render a custom 3d visualization of that information floating in front of him. There will be no separate code stage, just neural rendering of data to pixels.


Better not think a forbidden thought. Oh shoot! You just did! :)


Well thanks, I lost the game now :|


Who empties the bedpan?


It's a tube and it's directly connected, for efficiency. Feel free to fill in the rest of the story.


> custom 3d visualization of that information floating in front of him.

Eh, what a waste. Can't we just stimulate the optic nerve? Or better yet, whatever region of the brain is responsible for me being able to 'see' anything? And perhaps we can finally get smell-o-vision too.


I was hoping that the visuals going through the BCI also was implied since I didn't indicate any other new technology for holograms.


But are the pixels hot?
