Truly SciFi stuff.  I wonder how long until it will go the other way and we'll be able to receive sound and images directly into our brains?  I'm not sure I'll sign up for that.

>directly into our brains

It will be by subscription so pay up.  And it will be just like streaming has become, so many different services so you have to subscribe to 8 or more services to get what you want.

Also I don't want commercials (and you know they will) beamed directly into my brain.  It's like RC with banking online, ain't nobody but me getting access to my brainpan.

Maybe there'll be an open platform non-profit stream that will be some kind of combination of PBS/NPR, C-SPAN, and Public Access that only like 3% of the people will subscribe to?

My cousin has Cerebal Palsy.  He gets terribly frustrated at not being to be understood. This would be a game changer.
