Dan I hate to break it to you but you brain has plenty of storage as is.
Personally my guess is that someday chips like this will allow us to access dormant and unused portions of our brain. Sort of like using the GPU on your PC to do F@H work even though it wasn't originally designed for that.
Think of it as forced evolution through technology. Personally I look forward to the day I can walk into a school sit down, and upload a training manual for [insert difficult subject here that would normally take 3-4 years to learn.] It will probably happen. Just not in any of our lifetimes. Which is a pity.

Yeah I know. Wouldn't that be nice?
Then instead of going to med school and doing research, I would just copy knowledge from my professors and I would be writing my PhD thesis and getting ready for the boards.
You're right though. It probably won't happen in our lifetime, if only because of the aversion to scientific progress that religious fundamentalists have, who unfortunately have a lot of power in societies throughout the world

I'd like to start a company that develops this technology.

Think I'll call it *Sylar*...
