My most anticipated future development is didactic imprinting. Basically, the optic nerve is used as a conduit directly to the brain to imprint information (e.g. memories in long term storage) "instantly" via laser (probably will take a short amount of time, perhaps over several sessions). The rote absorption of facts is the most tedious and awful part of the education process, but conversely the easiest to understand and implement in a school system. Therefore instead of teaching children how to think critically, or expand creative horizons, we make them memorise times tables and historical dates. Pish posh, I say. Imprint that crap didactically, then let 'em be kids for a few years!
