I don't mean decking, or jacking in ... or possibly not even direct
interaction ... Like are the trid signals broadcast or sent through the
matrix? Is radio still around? and if so in what form? (ie is music
sent through the `trix? If so it's probably like MTV) I imagine
broadcast radio is still around otherwise you'd need to install a satlink
interface in order to get tunes in your car ... Telephone / Vidphone
conversations go over the trix ... though obviously cellular phones are
still around and probaly with incredible quality / consistency ... are
there still print newspapers or do you just download the latest issue
into your pocket secretary? (Can you imagine a newspaper heavily laden
with hypertext links, mpegs/vrmls, wavs/midis/mp3s, plus hi res pics?)
Also how often would the paper come out? I doubt it would be hourly, but
do you think there'd be an morning, noon, and evening editions?
(probably each edition would be much "lighter" but overall would cover
more ...)
BTW, as a side note:
What is the typing speed for someone jacked in in 205x?
On Page 9, of VR2.0, Have Deck-Will travel posted a 111 word comment 0.11
seconds after someone else, making his "typing" speed at least 60,545
words per minute (how's that for looking good on your resume?)...
Btw, the post contained 627 characters (including spaces, and a carriage
return + another carriage return to send the post) making that 342,000
characters per minute.
You know what's really scary? the really fast deckers are most likely
the ones without normal timedate stamps ... and prolly "type" *MUCH*
faster than this!
