What Comes After Streaming? Brainflix?

It’s a Wednesday evening, Abdul has had a busy day. Endless meetings, dashing about the city. A steady rain has been washing the streets and sidewalks all day. Time for a little Brainflix and chill with his wife. A quick bite to eat and they settle on the large, comfy couch in their suburban home. The kids are in bed. They both grab the soft NetCap off the coffee table, placing them on their heads. Time for a show!

There was, a few years ago, a time when there was this trend around people getting implants in their skulls. But it was pricey and there were issues with secondary infections. It wasn’t pretty. One company was hit with so many lawsuits they had to shutdown. And it just never quite took. No one really wanted something drilled into their skull it seems.

Then along came the NetCap and the CogniSpark. Nice, soft, lightweight and it rested gently on your head, or you could get the wrap around that rested over your ears with ear buds and it didn’t mess with your hair. People also liked that there were no issues with eye strain and you didn’t have goggles over your face. You could also switch to Augmented Reality (AR) mode so you could wander around with your eyes open. The caps connected to your WiFi connection and voila! Close your eyes and stream Brainflix or all those other streaming channels.
