My image streaming experience + relevance of imagery question

Lach - yours is a highly valuable letter in that it
highlights the utility 
issue, among other good things.  Putting the phenomenon to
practical use has 
turned out to be a crucial factor.  Otherwise, it begins to
feel like an 
expensive indulgence, people's proficiencies such as they
may be slacken and plateau 
off and attention drifts to other things.  Practical uses
include: 
problem-solving, accelerated  and/or enhanced learning,
finding inventions, innovations 
and discoveries, self-discovery (to the extent at least that
it affects your 
performance), performance and skill enhancement, performance
in the creative and 
performing arts, performance on the job, teaching, various
person-to-person 
interactions, and sheer raw just simple plain figuring
things out, to name but a 
few of these.  

So please, everyone: don't just dabble, turn your
explorations and 
experiments in the various phenomena addressed here into
some practical purpose(s) whose 
achievement will give you some excuse to carry on further
and to develop 
further.  It makes a lot of difference in your results.
