Communication
Humans require forms of communication anywhere they are in order to communicate in ways socially, emotionally, et cetera. Since there may be difference in air pressure in the settlement, it would require for us to have louder voices during verbal communication with others. But more importantly, we need to have a common language in between people since if someone knows a little amount of every language to exist; it would become a problem in complex situations and discussions. On Destino Magnus, we would use the Anglish language, almost like Singlish, a language used in Singapore, which is English mixed up with parts of Asian language. Since this maybe easier for foreign people to understand, and for cultural reasons, Anglish would be mixed with Asian and African languages with Latin forms. Grammatical structure would still be similar to modern English, but this would be an advantage for us. While learning stages of Anglish, people may use facial expressions and gestures as well as while using Anglish.
Other than verbal communication, could be text. Anglish would require more forms of the alphabet, and it should be legible for any means.
Inter-station internet may be required in ways of communications with other head quarters, and if there is more than 1000 people, it may be easier to have telephone lines or e-mail to have easy communication with each other. We could either use the primitive form of cable internet, between stations, but since that has the possibility of splitting and temporarily lose the ability of communication, radio or shorted distance waves could be used for sending virtual information.
Computer communication takes a large part in the life on Destino Magnus. Computers will be more accessible, and easier to use for humans on Destino Magnus. Instead of a large desktop that takes place, but has a small screen, we will use actual desks in offices. The “desktop” computer is called the Spindesk TS. Instead of a mouse, we will use a triang ular prism spinning gel, with a titanium bottom. The user could squeeze the “mouse” above a window, and move it up in the air, to move it on, or compact it onto another screen floating above. The user is able to also squeeze the “mouse” above another window, and push the gel downwards, to “push” the window away, and then move it around, while a small monitor near the main desktop gives you what windows are open, closed, compacted, active, hidden, and floating. The user could attatch an extension to their fingers to make more precise movement of windows, and draw precise concepts. This new, Triple Screen, three dimensional interface, the Spindesk TS, is based on graphical interface, and three dimensional concepts to seem more like you are working at an office, instead of sitting in front of a pizza box. The Spindesk TS has a keyboard that generates electricity from pushing the buttons, as well as the hand rest. The Spindesk TS is originally set up to have one large main glass screen, with two floating screens, with one window monitor, but users are able to customize them by buying a special software to better enhance their compatibility and comfortabilitty with the Spindesk TS. The Spindesk TS will be a new way to communicate on Destino Magnus. Since using wireless networks would not be efficient in this metallic structure, cords, fiber optic cords would be used. The largest advantage in using fiber optics is from its speed, and carries all information including media, information, et cetera. The fiber optic cables works when the information to be sent is converted into binary, and could be sent by turning on and off the light. We would be using lasers, which have long wave length fit to the fiber optic cable, and longer the wavelength, the longer, the more distance the information can be sent at highest speeds. Since these fiber optic cables require maintenance every 5 to 10 years, there would be a temporary alternative, another set of cables, which could be used temporarily, and could be changed after normal communication is back.
Communication also takes place while communicating with other probes, such as exploration and power, and mining probes. For probes nearby our station we would use laser signals, turning them on and off to send commands. For probes far out of the system, due to the interference in space, we would use gravitational wave emissions. These would be immune to the interference, and the probes would have detectors to detect the patterns of the gravitational waves. |
