Difference between revisions of "Think.Net"

Think.Net was developed using discoveries made by [[Allan Fischman]] while part of the community [[The Inner World]]. [[Allan Fischman| Allan]] hired several of the [[Telepath]]s. They intended to expand and commercialize upon [[The Inner World|The Merge]], a state where the [Telepath]s could share thoughts, which they hoped to develop into a communications system. [[Telepaths]] would operate as the bridge between the minds of two normal humans. This would allow the two individuals to communicate, simply by thinking, the users could essentially “hear” one and other’s inner monologue. Using a series of [[Telepaths]], this communication could be performed over a distance of several hundred miles. The limitation was that each telepath could only connect two individuals, and [[Telepaths]] being used a bridge, were occupied.

[[Margaret Petrov]] addressed this limitation in the system. [[Margaret Petrov|Margaret]], was a [[Big Brain]], a Different who possessed an incredibly increased intellectual ability. When Margaret was integrated in the bridge of [[Telepaths]], she was able to greatly increase the number of users that could communicate simultaneously. When the [[Telepaths]] attempted to connect multiple users, they essentially received a jumble of thoughts that there were not able to identify with a single user, making communication possible. Margaret was able to use her increased cognitive speed and scope, to quickly identify the individual’s thoughts and connect them to the correct recipient.  

With the influx of [[Telepath]] and [[Big Brain]] Differents,  [[Ultracorps]] was able to greatly expand the size and scope of think.Net. With the creation of the [[Metro Areas]] in 1985, [[Ultracorps]] connected the eight [[Metro Areas]] with think.Net, to allow for nationwide communication. This was facilitated by the creation of nodes. Protected housing complexes located in the [[Non-Assisted Area]] where [[Telepaths]] and [[Big Brain]]s could be housed, fed and kept safe, in order to provide a link over the distance between the [[Metro Areas]].
