"Memory" Chip

What if we didn't know who we were? What if we didn't know our own name, address, our family, or even our own face?
I don't know about you, but I would freak out!
Losing your identity, I think would be worse than having your identity stolen. Because when you lose who you are, you become a completely different person.
Just think about it. 
No home. 
No family. 
No past. 
No friends. 
Possibly no future.
"Memory" chip?
What would you think? Would it be a great blessing, or would you wish to have everything back?
I cannot imagine the stress and fear that would accompany the loss of your identity and being. 
So imagine you did lose your memory. And imagine that we had the technology to give it back to you.
What if you had to cut your hand open by yourself to do it? What if you had to trade your brain for a computer chip?
Would you do it? 
I sure wouldn't! 
As wild as my imagination is, I could never do anything my mind says. I'm a self proclaimed chicken, hence why I enjoy the world of what ifs. I do love the idea that we could possibly get our knowledge staight from a computer some day. I think it would make life interesting. Plus, imagine never having trouble understanding a concept. Yes, I know, very Matrix, but it's only in my imagination.

  1. This sure makes you think. But no chip for me either. I think I would rather start some new memories. My family would help me out.
