Today's Google Earth & Sketchup will be replaced with seamless
realtime interactive Virtual Overlay Experience (VOX). So, a laptop
is replaced by a pair of glasses and gloves. A cell phone is replaced
by a headphone and microphone set.
Now we're talking! Even virtual telepathy someday.
Think a name, and ...say 'hello'! Or should I say
'think hello'?
The bulk of humanity, connected to each other in real time.
Imagine the possibilities of that kind of massive parallel
connectivity.
Where a good rumor, story or idea, causes humanity to 'tremble'
as one. A brain, not made up of countless neurons, but countless
intelligent minds. Where even the weakest cries in the night
can summon the combined weight of humanity for aid and
comfort.
Producing a collective wisdom every bit the definition of God
which, when needed, 'speaks' to each and everyone alike.
And the millennia old schism between science and religion at last
comes to an end. So science, heaven, humanity, and religion
coevolves into one-in-the-same.
"Heaven is so far of the Mind
That were the Mind dissolved
The Site of it by Architect
Could not again be proved
'Tis vast as our Capacity
As fair as our idea
To Him of adequate desire
No further 'tis, than Here "
Mathematics can prove only one thing when it comes to the real world.
That humanity is destined to swim in unspeakable joy!
"To tell the beauty would decrease,
To state the Spell demean,
There is a syllableless sea
Of which it is the sign."
