WildcatThu, Sep 4, 2008 Thank you for an interesting post and a very good question.
My take on the issue of language and synesthesia in a multisensory environment (I am not certain I wish to use the term ‘age’ in this respect) is primarily that consciousness as we understand it at present will unfold into a wider and subtler reality of perception.
As we enter a increasingly multi-sensory age, what can we learn from synesthesia about expanding our consciousness through technology
Three points come to mind:
1. as we are all inherently synesthets the enhanced reality paradigm will have a much easier entrance into the commonly real than we currently believe.
2. As enhanced reality, becomes the norm, synesthesia will probably become the standard as well, structures and morphologies of communication procedures will inevitably become fluid structures, and liquefied morphological multidimensional meanings will become the foundation of information.
3. Consciousness, as a result will expand dramatically, both on the personal, interpersonal and global dimensions.
