As the Internet becomes more and more ubiquitous, the media through which we interact with it is becoming more and more cumbersome - even as it advances. And as we make use of this seemingly bottomless well of information via search and daily portals, no matter how many different functions our phones can perform, or our laptops, what remains is this soon-to-be antiquated chain of events: Brain wants something, tells hands to type and click it, Internet returns the results, brain tells eyes to read the results, and eventually brain processes the information.

Let’s examine the efficiency to determine the bottleneck: Brain and computer are fast, hands and eyes are slow.

Let’s examine the scenario without the bottleneck: Brain wants something, Internet returns the results, brain processes the information.

Try to imagine the freedom this would allow even the best thinkers in the world, which is the ability to offload information requests as thoughts and receive the results also as thoughts. Think of the possibility of a creative thinker not being bogged down by the limitations of his or her computational skills. It would be something like a scene from “The Matrix”. Time would no longer be wasted in calculation, and all effort could be devoted towards creation.

I no longer want to open outlook to read my email, or type in my zip code to check the weather. I want to think it and then know it. And someday, I will.
