I wondered if humans could ever become compatible with IOWN.
When vision is seen as an entry point for information, the human eye is already a highly advanced sensor for receiving light. If communication functionality could be layered onto it, the human body itself might become a node within the information network.
Of course, in reality, there are significant challenges involving freedom of movement and safety. Directly receiving optical signals—through Li-Fi or fiber-based communication—would place biological strain on the eye, making practical implementation difficult. Yet if even a part of the human body could receive data through optical communication, the relationship between humans and networks would be fundamentally transformed.
Reframing vision not as an organ for seeing but as a port for communication shifts the gateway of information from the brain to the body itself.
I would like to imagine a future where humans become the terminal devices of IOWN.
