Downloading knowledge straight to the brain could become a very real possibility.

Education experts predict that the plot of the movie "The Matrix" which describes downloading knowledge into the brain to learn directly will be realized within 30 years. Chris Parry, the chief executive of the Independent Schools Council (ISC) in the UK, stated that the research and development of wiring and downloading technologies would lead to a gradual decline of traditional classroom learning. Parry, in an interview with the "Times Education Supplement," said, "The distance between wireless technology and practically transmitting electronic signals into the brain for knowledge absorption is just a very short step."
