Most scientists and science-fiction writers imagine a future where humans can implant microchips in their brains in order to increase memory space and the amount of knowledge that can be stored. What about the reverse?

What about finding ways to extract in digital form the existing knowledge we carry in our brains and store it in microchips called brainchips? This way we would preserve all existing human knowledge acquired so far and be able to clone human brains in seconds!
