What if the neural net is the ultimate in user generated content? If many Sirians are connected to this 'web' via a micro-chip, could said chip transmit as well as receive? Picture it, a news network offers a chip a programing for the fee of being able to sift through and scan the perceptions of its users? Have live data of an event as it occurs? If you turn it off for privacy, you do not get any programing.
EDIT: Actually, I should patent that, like right now.
