It will only be known when things are gauged across time. Flip side being just like we'd never know what and how it is to literally hunt for food, the "artificial limb man" would never really know what it is to experience the finer elements of life as we do perhaps?

Runs out of space after a while, since it has to store everything it sees. btw, Asimov and Dan Simmons have humanity evolving into separate species on its own in the extended Foundation (Spacers and non Spacers) and Hyperion Cantos series. And it almost happened in real life 150,000 years ago, when two strands of humanity was isolated in E & W Africa and Southern Africa for 100,000 years I’ve always considered human memory similar to a hard disk.
