Implanting tiny chips, data, algorithms and programs in your head will not, as Kosko contends, boost cognitive function one bit, if by that we mean "thinking." Being able to access "all knowledge and all databases at the speed of light" is a little like being able to park a teeny-tiny version of the Library of Congress inside your skull. Then what? Not much. Lots of data, even if access to it could be wired in the brain, skipping the display screen, does not impart "bit-based omniscience," in Koskos Promethean phrase. Youd have to think about it with that flawed brain.
