Education

Human learning is primarily accomplished using virtual teachers and is enhanced by the widely available neural implants. The implants improve memory and perception, but is not yet possible to download knowledge directly. AI though enhanced through virtual experiences, intelligent interactive instruction, and neural implants, learning still requires time-consuming human experience and study. This activity comprises the primary focus of human species.

Automated agents are learning o their own without human spoon-feeding of information and knowledge. Computers have read all available human and machine-generated literature and multimedia material, which includes written, auditory, visual and virtual experience works.

Significant new knowledge is created by machines with little or no human intervention. Unlike humans, machines easily share knowledge structures with one another.

Disabilities

The prevalence of highly intelligent visual navigation devices for the blind, speech-to-print display devices for the deaf, nerve stimulation, intelligent orthotic prosthetics for the physically disabled, and a variety of neural implant technologies has essentially eliminated the handicaps associated with most disabilities, Sensory-enhancement devices are in fact used by most of the population.

Communication

In addition to the ubiquitous, 3-D virtual environments, there has been significant refinement to 3-D holographic technology for the visual communication. There is also projected sonic communication for precisely placing sounds in three-dimensional space. Similar to virtual reality, much of what is seen and heard in “real” reality also has no physical counterpart. Thus family members can be sitting around the living room enjoying one another’s company with out being physically proximate.

In addition, there is extensive use of communication using direct neural connections. This allows virtual, all-enveloping tactile communication to take place without entering a “total touch enclosure,” as was necessary ten years earlier.

The majority of communication does not involve a human. The majority of communication involving a human is between a human and a machine.
