I'm just thinking that the computers right now transmit sound and sight. What about people like Hellen Keller? She was deaf and blind, but she was still smart. I'm just thinking that there must be some way for the communication device to transmit through more senses, this is interesting.

Actually, the computer/monitor/screen/TV can be used effectively to show the real life events (not just fiction) and I think this is very important. We have live news on the screen with sound and sight. At web sites such as Youtube, it is even possible to see a live video taped concert, like with a band Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Actually, seeing a concert on a monitor screen is not much different from real life, because it is sound and sight.

I don't want to touch, smell or taste the performers. Thank you.
