Would a high bandwidth brain to computer interface revolutionize technology?

Ed.Kloonk:
What I notice is that most everyone presumes that the tech is to assist in commanding the robots.

I want it working in the other direction. Like just blinking and then understanding a wall of text. Or like the time Kanuu learned gung-fu.

I'm sure it would find applications in porn and games, beyond that I don't know, it seems likely to cause a lot more problems than it solves though.

Especially when it would connect our inner thoughts to the internet. Peace would fly out of the window in a heart beat.

Our brain is also a filter when it comes to generating output like speech or writing. When tapped in before this filter it will show a lot of ugliness.

Well of couse people use VR for games and porn, it's the 21st century. ::) But it would be less accessable if it involved literal brain surgury. And yes, there's always that sci-fi trope of nefarious people using brain interfaces as some form of mind control/reprogramming (even in my own sci-fi universe). Basically some bad actor always messes with someone's memories and personality, or just to torture/imprison them, like Total Recall, The Matrix, Star Trek (Borg), exc.
