Any body out there in extropy-land who is following R&D breakthrus on =
WWVs ?
They have got to be the ultimate communications device particularly if =
we can get them down to gnat-size.
Bandwidth is the obvious constraint at the moment but somewhere between =
satellite LEOS (v2.001 ?), G3 and whatever GSM comes up with next we =
must be getting close.
When brain-storming some possible applications I got:-
- great bootleg concert webcasts
- the ultimate "wish you were here", realtime, digital post-card
- great personal security & deterrent device ... "Patch me thru to =
McGarret!"
- or if the uplink is down , get a digital mug-shot ... "The Web's Most =
Wanted ?"
- we could all be special correspondents for CNN .... no thanks
Now for the nice stuff ....
- share your precious moments ( mountain-top sunrises?) with your =
loved-ones &/or the world
And for those really mega-events ( perhaps the dawn of the new =
millennium somewhere in a Pacific paradise?) a good proportion of the =
populace could come close to a feeling of being part of that often =
dreamt about, good-vibe of universal consciousness.
I'd love to get some dialog going on WWV's and where they make take us.
