On the contrary, in my abstract, you'd simply notice a link and follow it
automagically.

Ever noticed how you can pull in more information *looking* at a small
paragraph rather than reading it line by line? My brain regonizes all the
letters at once -- there is no need to move my eyes, except to follow text
that is too wide. Speed reading by character recongition. Doesn't work
that way all the time, but a few times, it does.

Yeah, a packet-to-neuron interface would be most interesting.

Thinking about this for a bit, I believe humans are Serial (communcation)
machines, not parallel.
