(Think of how you might have experienced having a dream that took seemingly hours but in reality only a few minutes passed. The brain can work fast if it's left to itself and doesn't constantly have to query external input resources.)
Anyway, this reminds me of this story: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profess...short_story%29 |
Ah... in other words, rather than beaming the story
in toto to your brain, you'd still be sort-of "reading" it (or at least
processing it) serially. Just at the "speed of brain" instead of the "speed of eye->nerve->brain." I could be down with that.
