Memory is a skill....and when you get really good at it you are able to connect information in a way most people cant. However it requires a great deal of work, and if done properly memory and wisdom grow together.
I agree with what you were saying but I don’t think humans are ready for it (assuming we could do it right now). Our technological evolution has to coexist with every other aspect of evolution....If we go too fast in one direction, it could cause a lot of problems.
But i'm just rambling, I really like this article. Really interesting topic.
