In April, the engineer of Apple and one of the creators of Siri Tom Gruber made a report for TED. His speech was devoted to the future, in which computers and augmented reality are capable of improving the capabilities of the human brain. We know that at the moment Apple is actively developing augmented reality. What can this lead to?.

In his 10-minute report, Gruber described a product or service that makes human memory the same as a drive in a computer. In other words, in his understanding, our memory can store everything up to the moment when something is not intentionally erased.

Imagine that you can remember every person you have ever met, the pronunciation of their names, details about their families, their favorite sports and all your last conversation with them.

From the tiniest clue the service will help to extract everything that you have ever seen or heard before. Imagine the impact this will have on the formation of new connections and new ideas.

Tom Gruber sees an artificial intelligence that improves human memory, as the logical development of modern voice assistants, such as Siri. Today Tom continues to work for Apple, and he can not say when and in what form this idea will be implemented, but he believes that it will be implemented.

Very interesting look at the future. Something similar can be seen in one of the series of the series "The Black Mirror". Let's hope that the ideas of modern technology companies will lead us to a brighter future.
