2) it's extremely interesting.
( a very interesting article about the human brain )

As far as the "brain-chips failing when you need them most" thing goes, well, you can crash in a forest and have a moose kick you in the head so hard you lose brain functionality, too (without dying; just look at Phineas Gage). Like any technology, something like that would remain in testing for a time, than as toys for the Forbes List of Richest People, before finally becoming cheap and reliable enough for the populace. But that's just speaking practically; the philosophical issues are scary, I admit.
All in all, this is a lot to think about; thanks for posting it.

I really hope it would go under severe testing, even moreso than medical standards currently. The problem is that a lot of technology currently is just very prone to errors, and, as they say, if you make something foolproof they will just make a better fool.
