Pre-existing Memory

What would it be like to be born with our parent’s memory already engraved in our brain, so that we could be able to remember situations and experiences that our parents engraved in their brains. And what if the new memories acquired in our lifetime, combined with out parent’s memories, were passed on to our children at the time of conception. What would the experience of living would be like?

I believe that some time in the near future, we will be able to download all our memories into a hard drive and store them, so we don’t forget them. With the same mechanism, we will be able to upload information to our brain and “remember” the things that were uploaded. This will lead the way for real-time thought communication. People will be able to plug their brains to each other and read each others thoughts and experiences. Pretty weird…

This article “Your Brain Has A ‘Delete’ Button—Here’s How To Use It” talks about the deleting of memories in the brain:
