Excellent write up.
My own thinking simply bowls down to the fact we are externalising our brain. Both in terms of knowledge, and how we process them.
Just as how we have internal macro’s…actions we do automatically, and internal “filters” of information, so we will develope external ones too. Ones existing in our software preferences, our information filters, and the choices of streams to see in our FOV.

But to truly understand, we have to go deeper into the actual brain matter and watch how AR might change it. (tags: ar augmentedreality augmented) [...]

Fan-frigging-tastic post!

Loved the story too.

Last night I saw a TV program comparing Jules Verne and H.G. Wells – both amazing technology prophets. The former loved technology, while the latter wanted to warn us of its consequences (he predicted the Atom bomb).

Tom – it seems like you are leaning towards the latter…;)
