This may be due to the inherent inhumanity of machines; for once they are competently programmed and functioning properly, they are completely honest and loyal."   **-- Druidess Elnath Five Two 52-8443-1696  The Art of Never Again, Chapter 293: Collected Sermons on Cyberempathy**|+|"Most societies have those who detest seeing machines doing what people once did, both in their homes and at their workplaces.

-The Mind-Machine Interface (or MMI) is precisely what its name suggests, a way for [[Freespacers]] and [[synthetic_intelligence#automata|Automata]] to directly interface their neural network with a computer system or network. In essence the MMI is used as a blanket term used for standardized Freespacer implant technology. Its actually composed of three components; a converter to translate digital and brain signals, a digital memory module, and a co-processor to enhance the performance of the former two and increase cognitive intelligence. The system itself can interface using wireless connections, but high volume data transfers (such as simulated reality) requires a direct interface. This interface can be found either just behind the ear or at the base of the skull, through which data cables can be plugged directly into the cranium.+The Mind-Machine Interface (or MMI) is precisely what its name suggests, a way for [[species:freespacers]] and [[synthetic_intelligence#automata|Automata]] to directly interface their neural network with a computer system or network.

-|"Imagine the entire contents of a sixteen year long academic program, the sum total of a high-end specialist education, blasted into a child's fragile neural network with the full power of a supercomputer over the course of a week. A lifetime of enlightenment compressed into a single searing burst of revelation. That is our last-ditch attempt to win our species a reprieve from intellectual degeneration at the hands of our short life expectancy. How desperate we have become, how proud."  **-- Mastermind Kastra Eight Five 85-2183-0430  The Art of Never Again, Chapter 127: Fixing the Human Condition**|+|"Imagine the entire contents of a sixteen year long academic program, the sum total of a high-end specialist education, blasted into a child's fragile neural network with the full power of a supercomputer over the course of a week.

 Mindware utilizes MMI technology in order to allow a person to assimilate huge quantities of information over a short time. Freespacers have a very short lifespan for a spacefaring sentient species, aging approximately 3.5 years for every human year. Thus an education up to and including university-level at standard speed would take up over four-fifths of their lifespan (once infancy-to-childhood growth is factored in, so they are actually old enough to learn). This has prompted adapt various types of accelerated and sleep learning processes, the most recent and effective of which is Mindware. Mindware utilizes MMI technology in order to allow a person to assimilate huge quantities of information over a short time.
