“A major concern is that not every one of us benefits equally from these technologies. The communications revolution has bypassed tens of millions of people, and something needs to be done about it. Virtually everything we wish to do in the field of communications is now technologically possible. The only limitations are financial, legal or political.”
“What lies beyond – direct inputs to the brain? Yes, the ultimate input-output device would bypass all the body’s senseorgans and provide signals directly into the brain. Exactly how this would be done I leave to biotechnicians to figure out.”
This post is considerably easier to process with the punctuation hints offered by Sweetwind in comments on an earlier article. Thanks for the the added links, also.
…I gotta admit to tinkering with, er, editing this article a little bit and adding all but the interview link. But gpmap, PLEASE keep submitting – you really ARE on the right track here with your efforts, which are most appreciated!!! My recommendations for your submissions are:
1. Add a couple of personal introductory sentences when it’s a press release or article of special interest to you. Starting right up with “Press release from X” is OK (and even vital, we ALWAYS want to attrribute story origin here on SciScoop) but personal touches are even better. Ultimately this is a community site and personal comments are always welcome in both the articles themselves and the follow-on posts. Usually when I just roll out a press release here, it’s because I’m short on time that day but I want to get SOMETHING new up at SciScoop.
2. Google a couple of the relevent words or phrases in the press release and add a few links of interest. Readers have been consistent in saying they like the extra links in the SciScoop articles, and that’s the motivator for getting them to come to this site instead of a pure press-release-only site like Science Daily. The links are “value-added” material to the text readers don’t get anywhere but here. Along with my bad jokes and what passes for weird humor…
good job, RJ :)
