[[AC:ComicBooks]]
* Lampshaded in the SilverSurfer\\\'s origin. One problem that Norrin Radd has with Zenn-La society is that citizens are hooked up to education machines and gain all their knowledge passively.
[[AC:{{Film}}]]
* The aliens in {{Battlefield Earth}} have machines that enable humans to learn their language, how to use their technology, and let them find out how to destroy the aliens.
* And of course, [[TheMatrix]] has Neo master [[KnowKungFu master a wide range of martial arts]] by having the moves and muscle memory uploaded directly into his brain.
[[AC:{{Literature}}]]
* One sunny day on \\\'\\\'BattlefieldEarth\\\'\\\', [[AlienInvaders Psyclo]] [[TooDumbToLive Terl]] gave his pet human [[TheHero Johnny]] an alien learning machine [[IdiotPlot for no good reason]]. Johnny had formed LaResistance before the week was up.
* In the long-running German SciFi pulp action series \\\'\\\'PerryRhodan\\\'\\\' (started in 1961), Terran humans adopted alien technology, the hypno schooling devices, that allow scientific knowledge, language skills and even memories to be transfered and implanted in the brain in just a few hours. The technology is widely used by a number of species in the Milky Way, and it partially psionic in nature. The brain has to be \\\"evolved\\\" enough to accept the imprint, though, otherwise the recipient might go insane. Using a device programmed fpr a certain species on a member of a different species without adapting it first can also lead to unpleasant side effects. Upgrading someone\\\'s IQ with these devices is possible, also that often leads to, you guessed it, insanity or brain damage.
[[AC:LiveActionTV]]
* Gunn, in the last season of {{Angel}}, got a brain implant that instantly gave him an extensive legal education, as well as a bunch of other knowledge (like GilbertAndSullivan \\\"for the articulation\\\").
* [[StargateSG1 Jack O\\\'Neill]] has had the entire knowledge base of the Ancients uploaded into his head, \\\'\\\'twice!\\\'\\\'
I left in the \\\'\\\'SkylarkInSpace\\\'\\\' example, because while it\\\'s a knowledge machine and not an intelligence machine, it \\\'\\\'does\\\'\\\' give a character access to knowledge (of telepathy) that he couldn\\\'t possibly have had before or gained directly from the machine.
