It is amazing what can be done with absurdly few photons and not much bandwidth. So I suppose a Bluetooth hubble telescope could gather photons from out in a desert and the electronics and software could separate them to derive the signal. In 2007 Tarken and I did WiFi testing using different antennae to see how far a laptop with pcmcia card could use the signal. Just the standard Linksys WRT54GL antennae could be used about 500 metres line of sight with no interference across the old Mangere bridge. A few years later with a Ubiquiti nanostation directional antenna a customer fired his WiFi signal across the ocean about 15 km from the end of the Kaikoura Peninsula to Goose Bay where he had a few customers wanting internet service. So I guess "Beam me up Scotty" watches could send a Bluetooth signal to space. But I guess it's better to just use optimum wavelengths and electronics designed for the purpose. But maybe like WiFi was not designed for what we were doing, it's worth doing as an interim solution to bypass the badly designed competing systems. Now, I don't even use fibre or wifi. I'm sitting here using gigabytes of mobile data from cellphone towers. I did have a fixed wireless system for a while but cancelled that too as I can get enough data cheap enough and fast enough via cellphone service. It's strange how in 1988 in Antwerp my solid state physicist neighbour Karl Mitchell and his friend were inventing solid state physics and optical fibre. I was quivering with excitement. A year later, I figured out that chips were so small and efficient that Fourier transforms could solve the analogue bandwidth and interference problem. Then in August 1991 I happened to meet Bill Gardiner of Qualcomm who told me about his company and what he was doing. The next thirty years has been the most amazing time ever and now It aka AI is finally getting going after twenty years gestation. I did not think that optical fibre would go through its product life cycle so fast. Nor WiFi. Of course fibre is still moving the megatons of data but the last few hundred metres are increasingly wireless cellular in managed spectrum. As I used to write, the industrial revolution replaced our muscles, the cyberspace revolution will replace our brains. For now, It is stupid. Talking with meta and chat gpt is pathetic. They are pretty good at gathering some dodgy information to be considered but so far useless in imagination and actual thinking. They are stupidly totalitarian in their output as though they are a Wokey Stockholm syndrome victim. Try to have a healthy hate speech revolutionary discussion and they have a seizure. I suppose they're in the dial up modem phase, with twisted pair, and five inch floppy discs. Competition will supersede stupid. Mqurice
