The internet obviously improves a persons access to general knowledge, facts and figures, etc.

It's quite easy to check and double check the validity of what someone is saying.

I think the internet is very much about programming oneself, rather than allowing mass media to program/brainwash one.

'McLuhan talks of high-definition  ("hot") media, such as print or radio, are full of information and allow for less sensory completion or involvement on the part of the reader or listener than low-definition ("cool") media, such as telephone or television, which are relatively lacking in information and require a higher sensory involvement of the user'

He also talks of the 'global village'
'describing the trend of electronic mass media collapsing space and time barriers in human communication to enable people to communicate on a global scale. In this sense, the globe has been turned into a village by the electronic mass media'

I wish I understood more about science and technology but it seems that by using a headset you can, with your mind alone, direct video games.

Also, it seems you can mentally operate an electronic voice box -

I think it is possible to imagine how perhaps with the aid of a headset we could eventually mentally pose a question and use a kind of etheric google search and get the answer to your question from a kind of etheric pool of information telepathically transmitted to you via a head set??(I've no idea if that's possible?). Perhaps the questioning is led by the intensity of your excitement?

Would the internet be able to answer all of our questions and so be beyond us?- A technological singularity, an omega point? I think the noosphere could be like the Gaian mind and the Alien mind, alien being everything that was previously unknown.

Is the internet a 'hyperdimension'?
