True, too bad we can't control our minds in such a way that we can all have this memorising-capabilities, but not losing our abilities to communicate in a socially-seen normal way.
I think that the human brain is capable of doing things currently beyond our imagination. I also think that it won't take long anymore before we actually fully control our own species, thus making us some sort of robots (which in my opinion we all are already).
Also, being able to genetically manipulate the brain capabilities, it will result in a longer lifespan, mainly caused by the reduction of violence and other non-social behaviour.
Now I'm getting waaayyy off-topic, so I'll just stop. Have to sleep btw, so gn8!
I saw one episode of that super humans series. It was about a virtuose piano-playing kid. Tbh these ppl don't even realise what they are actually doing and capable of, caused by their handicap (oftenly autism).
Yeah, it's quite a shame some aren't capable of a lot of other things, and autism can lead them to knowledge only on little things and still be quite handicapped.
@ your other post, I think it won't be too long before people can fully understand the human mind and able to re-create things in such ways to help human lives
Or destroy human lives...
It's just the philosofy you have concidering life, and then explicitly the human race...
One might see options to make us all live in joy, and reducing the exploitation of our resources found in our environment. One might see options to destroy us all, thinking he'd help the universe with it, since we are greedy forms of life. One might not accept this (mis)use of the human body/brain, and will refuse to coorperate in this manipulation of the brain.
I could go on like this, but what I'm trying to say is that as many people there are trying to use this in a positive way (according to our vision), there are ppl who will try using this in a negative way, thus solving nothing, but only escelating the current good-evil situation, which may result in the devision of the human race, since by the time we will be able to manipulate ourselves fully, we will be up in space for a long time already. Factions (clans) will be made, and wars will unleash again, projecting the same situation as currently seen on earth, only then on larger scale.
This sounds like sciencefiction, only I used logic redenation to come up with a very plausible story, which is rather representative of my vision on human's future.

And there's a torrent going around called "Extraordinary People - The Boy with the incredible Brain" which covers similar stuff
