Whoa! Dolphins wired to the web. Cool. I wonder what special mental
processes they could evolve to add to our pool of knowledge. We *ARE*
Gaia's brain (to go along w/the analogy) and what you're suggesting is that
we should wire all animal brain's to the global internet brain to speed up
evolution of all the animals. A bit odd but cool. The shared global sum of
Earth's knowledge.

No one can know the entire english vocabulary and there are emotions still
undefined by english so no one can communicate in the least amount of words
and time possible unless you're uploaded and have thousands of years to
restructure your sentences.

We

Our current language is like how computers across the internet talk to each
other via TCP/IP when we use a completely different language to think. I
think that we will migrate toward a more visual-based language such as
highly detailed stories but created quickly with tools to relay alot of
information to another individual.

Perhaps we need to become a closer more open society with people openly
sharing their ideas. This could be encouraged though dynamic optimism being
taught in preschools.
