Some of you guys are funny.A more powerful, fast -acting, miraculous program is being developed and you are FEARING it even BEFORE IT HAD BEEN RELEASED? haha and then you are wondering why you are resisting the subs.
Positive change is always good.Faster positive change? Bring it on. Why fear?
A lot of sense there in that post.
Also, I see the hype forming around 6G. I want to take off some of the pressure and expectations I see forming on Shannon's shoulders about it. I know it sounds interesting and all, but it's a reasonable ways off. I'm thinking 2017 before we can buy several programs in 6G, sometime in 2017 likely. Given that Shannon will need more time to have some sort of working prototype for people to try, then take that feedback and go back and hone it and eventually create ASC 6G, which I believe will be the first 6G program available for real. I'm betting that will take up most of 2016 alone. So, in 2017, programs will start being created after ASC 6G, hey maybe I'm wrong and Shannon will do it faster. But, being an entrepreneur as well, I know how challenging time constraints during R & D and other issues alongside can be.
I've seen old posts from Shannon about 5G in a similar manner as well when it was coming along. That it's crazy powerful, exhausted him forever after using it for 10 seconds (lol exaggeration but yeah...) can't use it for long per day, etc. then it settled into a system of up to 21 hours maximum per day etc. Overall, I feel 5G to be a wonderful generation. It seems to be able to pretty much do it all convincingly well, besides issues with WL6, WM2, SM3, and perhaps BAMM 2.0, maybe more titles have struggled I'm not aware of. I think those are the only programs that seem to struggle to find success with pretty much most people. It seems 6G *should* be able to improve upon their success rates, based off the incredible words per second comparison alone but some of those may not be able to be ported over to 6G even. There's also talk that multi-stages won't be needed anymore. Who knows, maybe maybe not.
What I mean is, I'm not holding my breath for a 30 minute listening session to give amazing results, nor am I for 2-3 hours of listening a day. Once 6G hits "the real world", meaning us living-breathing-capable-of-massive-resistance-at-times-paying-customers, I think it'll likely be capped at or around 12 hours a day. Maybe even more.
I'm not saying this generation's hype could be inflated or anything. It may very well end up being those figures listed earlier this time and change lives forever listening up to 3 hours a day or even 30 minutes. It's *possible*. I'm just saying, I want guys to approach 6G talk more objectively, so they don't get disappointed down the line when we have more solid, quantifiable data on how 6G performs with real world people. No doubt, it should be a tangible upgrade to 5G regardless, but I just thought cautious optimism may keep expectations grounded.
Point is, it's barely understood, even at this point. So I know a new generation sounds intriguing, but let's just enjoy a few more runs of 5G for now (or 4G or 3G for you old schoolers) and see how 6G comes along as it's got a ways to go yet before it's in your hands.
