In the past we smiled at each other. Then we invented the smiley (2 bytes). That became the emoji (30 bytes). Now people send many complicated emojis and they get bigger all the time. Soon many kilobytes of information will be sent as emojis.
What will we send in the future? If the data limit of our eyes is reached will we communicate directly via neuralink to our visual cortex? Will we send each other pictures and videos? Will we be able to send emotions directly?
If we can communicate with emotions and pictures will there still be a need for words? Will we lose the ability to use words?
Come and discuss the future of communication while you still can at 30 bytes per minute. Bring your 2 thumbs, and your friends!
