And we miss what - 99% of the data that passes by us?
There's information (sometimes important information)
in the ultraviolet spectrum, infrared, microwave, magnetic fields,
electrostatic fields, and who knows what else.
Some animals, insects, and birds use these much better than we
do. Who's to say that there's not a huge amount of very important
data that we are unaware of, but which some electronic device might tap into?
WooEEooo.....
