This series will explore the job of a memory augmentation surgeon in the future and how humankind will fit in to a future world order dominated with the technologies we created. We explore how "human activity" will be taken over thereby rendering the jobs of today and obsolete relic of the past beyond a century in our distant future.

Years and centuries into the future, we will be experiencing great and revolutionary change to the way we live, how society works and how humankind as a whole will see themselves. Our world has been shaped by different periods of technological growth and progress from the Neolithic Revolution to the Industrial Revolution. Exponential growth in population and rapid advancement in manufacturing, production and consumption coupled with the rise of automation, artificial intelligence and robotics will transformed human society fully-integrated with our own mechanical wonders.

Have you tried upgrading your computer's RAM, CPU and Hard Drive? Chances are, we may need the help of a memory augmentation surgeon to upgrade our brain and have it backed up on a cloud as well. Science fiction may become an ordinary thing in 2065. Memory augmentation process may involve embedded technologies that will connect itself to your brain. With the use of such technology, it will increase our abilities to retain, store and process information to the point our augmented brain will be like super computers.


Today's brain surgeons and neuroscientists may reinvent their roles in the future as they will perform brain implant surgeries and perhaps gain more knowledge in advanced computer engineering by incorporating multi-core processing to our head. Hard drives can now be miniaturized and it is even possible to store information in one's DNA. Future application of this technology will make it possible for us to store more information than we can currently hold and everyone will become a "walking encyclopedia" in the future. We can access information as quick as how we search it on Google or Wikipedia.

Do you want to become a memory augmentation surgeon in the year 2065?
