  1. 19:00 "Computers can share information instantly" - well data - yes, but sharing information across computers (or even different softwares) requires common understanding of the format, i.e. a common language. Any business that has ever attempted to make two softwares work together knows how difficult that problem is. Consequently, I suspect that sharing information between humans connected via Neuralink will have a similar challenge: sharing of thoughts will require the translation of thoughts into a common language. Currently this is performed by converting our thoughts to speech or writing. This will be a non-trivial problem. We don't know how common or different in_detail the neurological connections and internal representation of thoughts are between humans. It could very well be that sharing of thoughts via Neuralink will still require users to formulate some kind of internal speech and that would likely slow down the sharing process significantly.
