Email: Our daily multitask [CH]
Would it be easier if we could just communicate via brain implants? Nah, it would be just one more stream to multithread or multitask. Choices!

...no brain implants! I have a hard enough time holding my concentration... I am sure I would not get anything accomplished!
I have always said, if Bill Gates cannot produce a spreadsheet without bugs, he sure as hell isn't making software that goes anywhere near my brain! Besides dinging it up, a brain implant's operating system would also probably try to monopolize one's mind, if history is any indication. And what would the command interface be? Would I have to vocalize a command with proper syntax or merely think the words "ham sandwich, mmm!" to initiate the Kitchen Server multitasking socket? To say nothing of dreams or nightmares! No, if a voice-activated voicemail menu fails to recognize my plain English while others are chattering in the office, software cannot yet -- and should never -- handle the human brain.
