You can forget expensive world travel and the cheaper Stay-cation version in the future, as new technology will implant memories of exciting world travels to exotic locales we have never actually visited in our minds, says revered theoretical physicist Michio Kaku.
Similar to the plot line of the 1990 blockbuster sci-fi film Total Recall starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, people will be able to have false memories implanted into their brains of vacations to locations anywhere in the world, or even to Outer Space! According to Kaku, we will be able to search for any type of experience we would like to have online and simply download the app to our smart phone or home computer and upload the created memories directly to our brains!
In his bestselling book The Future of the Mind, Kaku details how rapid advancements in both medical knowledge and technology will meld together, turning science fiction into science reality. Kaku points out that knowledge of the human brain has expanded vastly in the past decade alone, and envisions the incredible strides in understanding the complexities of the mind will continue to grow exponentially in the not-too-distant future.
If memory serves me correct, this did not work out too well in the film Total Recall, but it will cost far less than an extravagant Grand Tour of Europe, so it might just be worth the risk/price!
