that's not going to happen. what's going to happen is they will develop systems to deliver content via telepathy, and Big Content will charge you whenever you remember something they own. All storage media from vinyl to paper to flash memory will become illegal to own, and rom dealers will outnumber drug dealers in prison 10-to-1. This is our reality by 2040 at the latest.

we almost need to ban corporate psychoanalysis outright;
they're using bullshit reasoning (stop the terrorists, yarrr!) to uncover and unearth some of the most sacred and detrimental knowledge concerning the human mind. The human mind is a dynamic system; at the end of the day, the causal science behind our cognition is simple enough that simple technology exists which is capable of enslaving the human mind; they just need to finish putting together the puzzle of cognition and once they do, we're fucked.

And they're well on their way; they're already much farther in their research than I ever anticipated they'd get -- they're currently able to identify what a person is thinking by looking for activity in associated regions - and they can do this from a reasonable distance without the individual being examined having to be hooked up to any sort of apparatus or anything. The only catch at the moment is they need to know what they're looking for. For example, if they're trying to stop a terrorist at an airport or something, they can scan people's brains who are having excessive activity in the region of the brain where the concept of "bomb" is stored.

Its still in the development stage, but they've accomplished that so far. They still haven't cracked the code of cognition though yet; pray they never do.

yeah hopefully that won't happen yet for a very long time.
