Ok here goes.
In the support of this advancement many would agree apon the benefits of such a technology as though we have much supieior brainpower we only use a percentage of our brains. The storage function would provide instant memory play back (some would know the movie FINAL CUT where this concept was for the use in making a memory tape for people in morning of someone they loved) and the ability to store and let our subconscious learn new things while we do something else EG: learn to speak French while swimming. And the ability to communicate and evolve would also be great.
One last area would be obviously in the medical area such as a way of helping people with memory problems like alsimers.
Now in the against area we have first the instant total invasion of privacy beyond any one can think of today as your every thought would be up for grabs. This would be for anything from marketing information to federal government investigations. Yes this is conspiracy in principal but it is something that would need to be worked out just like the use of cloning needs special consideration due to the facts that it can be used for both good and bad. Finally the most major fear people would have of this technology is the 666 chip that many would see as the beginning of the end either for the reasons of privacy and total control of the government or for the Bible and the end of the world.
Personally I believe that there are outer ways to get the same function without the need to implant anything into the brain and also be able to remain safe with ones own privacy.
Thank you for reading my answer

The short answer: Yes. I would feel the risk worth taking.
The long answer: The technology is very close to being available. There have been several trials of implants. Such as neural implants that allow people who are paralysed to move muscles. Or implants that interact with the users everyday environment. An example of this was in England where a research used a chip that would unlock doors. Turn on lights. And basically automated aspects of his everyday life. So this application would of course be viable.
The Pros: To use such a chip would be advantages in areas of both healthy and sick individuals. Those that are health could possibly gain the advantage of both expanding their knowledge. Allowing for a wider range of information that would normally take long periods of time to acquire and learn. The information would be downloaded and available for automatic use.
While those who suffer dementia or mental illness could perhaps have this chip implanted to help re-circuit their awareness. By providing alternative information that would otherwise be lost or limited do to physical limitations. It would be the answer to many long terms sufferers.
The Cons: In a world of natural paranoia, there is always a fear of control. Such a chip could by its’ very format and structure, it could easily be tampered with at a distance. Perhaps in some way adjusting the users consciousness of their surrounding and acceptance of rules and governments. And interesting example of this was shown on an episode of Star Gate. Where a civilisation had such a devise attached to them. It allowed them to access a mainframe computer for knowledge. But it also had a faculty to change the users memory of events and reality. So as in the storyline, people would be systematically killed off. While those left behind had the memory of them erased. Perhaps for this reason alone. Such a Orsen Wells world of Big brother is not one to be rushed into lightly.

It would still have a smaller storage capacity than the human brain. The problem with the brain isn't size or ability. It is ACCESS.

Well, I've allowed brain surgens to snip on my brain, I think after th black eye, puking whenever i try to eat and when I'm finished recovering from just putting the chip in, no.

No, but only because I'd probably never learn to use it properly.
