Oh, cool! If you've ever read scifi, you might be familiar with the concept of people being directly 'jacked into the web. Imagine that: a whole new level of information access--like having a GPS in your head, or psychic access to an encyclopedia on whatever you're encountering. The ability to download new languages, to overlay maps on a street scene in front of you. You could virtually walk with a friend, who to you is standing next to you while they're visiting your location on their own connection. You could even be functioning in whole other "dimensions" of reality at once, almost like a technological spirit-walk!

Well, we're not that far along yet, and I don't know whether it would be an entirely good thing if we could do that. But this could provide some of that experience if they get it going. Crazy, huh?

Now it's looking like a *really* good thing that they're working on a 40 GB data rate!
