THE BLANKET
More appropriatle called
the hankerchief because
that is what it will look
and feel like. When it first
comes on the scene people
will be in awe of this
wonderful feat of human
technology. Imagine when it
is first discovered and
people view it hanging from
a hook as if a garment in
a closet. The most complex
device - a hankerchief to
all looks and appearences.
In reality the blanket
will be no shock since
trends will have been
moving in these directions
with the perfection of
The Glasses.
People will have
adapted to most knowledge
on them at all times, but
this knowledge still
would be sensory in nature
- things we see and hear -
only with our eyes and
ears. By the time of the
Blanket there will be many
types of information
devices that we will wear
on our bodies, built into
our garments and even
embeded under our skin,
but they will not be
connected directly to the
brain, just very portable
versions of what we have
already. Even if they make
todays mainframes look
like toys there will
still be a gap between
media and nerve cell.
Not only will people be
used to having all
knowledge nearby and
available always but
there will be many
connections of helpful
devices directly to human
brains. The handicapt
will begin the flood when
some of their problems
are solved by different
experimental connections
directly to the brain.
People will be able to
see and hear through
these devices other
peoples sensory
experiences and will
decide that they want
one to. The masses will
demand that they to get
these superior sensory
apperatus as the handicapt
then will have connected
to their brains.
The battle for
legalization
will begin.
The Blanket will accelerate
these trends because it
will be the first computer
that will fit easily
beneath the skull bone and
that will cover and make
connections with the entire
brain. The first people to
get one installed will
become instant geniuses
and find out what it will
be like to be genuinely
connected to the world.
They will not only see and
hear what others could, up
until then, with the
glasses, but they will
develop sorts of new
senses and new
relationships with the
actual knowledge.
We will learn about living
in a world where we
BYPASS THE SENSES.
Once our sensory apperatus
are not needed for sending
and recieving information
to and from the world
around us, a new situation
will come about. When we
learn to JACK we will
learn about a world where
eyes and ears are nearly
useless and deficient
appendages which get in
the way of the better and
more efficient human
constructed devices.
Once artificial eyes and
ears are perfected people
may even get their
biological sensory organs
replaced. So that our
method of knowing the
world will be completely
of human invention and
much more reliable and
adjustable than the
organs of sense that we
are born with. This will
be a new situation.
