And imagine being able to retain everything you ever read and to be able to read it at near light speed? I guess it would be the difference between humans and the Amoeba. Having such ability would render humans Amoeba like in comparison?

How much would that change our perceptions? All that information ready to apply? Synthesizing it into action, reflecting to create wisdom? Is it so far fetched to think that in maybe the near future we could be plugged into a network of data that allows instant access to all written word and its up to us to process? What of mankind then?
