Will we soon be able to down load data from our brains?

"machine language" is probably a poor term to use in this context. In the computer world it simply refers to the native language of the CPU as opposed to C, C++, BASIC etc.. which are interpreted languages.

It would make sense though that each person's brain has it's own native language since the brains synapses are each individually built and evolve (break and grow anew) constantly as well as the fact that each of our experiences is unique so things aren't necessarily stored in the same place in each of our brains. The advantge of the silicon CPU is that millions of identical chips can be made. The same can't be said of human brains.

I think it's more likely that we might learn to manipulate silicon implants with our brains long before we learn how to read a brains functions into silicon but even that is still probably generations away. There's just to much uncertianty. Computers are good at predicting uncertianty but they aren't very good at interfacing with it.

Amidst the storm of electrical impulses in the brain, there exists a creeping melody of consciousness. But a computer, no matter how complex is just a mechanism switching bits in the registers of a central processing unit. The computer speaks no language, any more than does the jigsaw puzzle laying broken in its box. We use computer languages to help us impart bit sequences into the system, but the computer does not speak these languages, it only responds to bit patterns in a complex sequence which we have layed down.

We will probably never compose the consciousness of biology onto the canvas of silicone because it would be like trying to paint music. But that isn't to say that masterpieces of new complexity can't be formed in different ways.

It seems likely to me that given enough time, we will learn to house human consciousness outside of a natural brain, but I don't think it will be done in a computational system. Likewise, I think consciousness will be attained in computational systems, but it won't be *human* consciousness, it'll be something new to the world.
