ADVANTAGES1. Remembering things without any effort.
2. Making decision without the presence of a person.
3. Usingintelligenceofapersonafterthedeath .
4. Understanding the activities of animals .
5. Allowing the deaf to hear via direct nerve
stimulation.
DISADVANTAGES1. Webecomedependentuponthe computer.
