If I have two IP phones one in my office and one in my home why isnt the LCD screen capable of transmitting data back and forth between the two screens? Assume all screens are connected in "Internet" fashion with "IP" addresses. If you show a document or symbol written or even a gesture (photo) in one screen it registers at its intended destination. The correct code to encrypt and decrypt the transmission is part of the genetic code (DNA)? So I should theoretically be able to "fax" a piece of paper from my IP phone's LCD screen and it will automatically "print" the contents on the other end of the screen? Same way I can copy a file from one PC to another not through the Internet but by simply compressing it into color codes or beams which when input into a mirror at one end comes out as a picture on the other end (retina of the eye) If I connect it to a PC it produces a file that can be saved or destroyed.?

IP phones are for voice. Computers are for data.

Follow the logic with me. You have two computers on the internet, and two phones. The computers are already able to contact one another to transfer data (any data), and the phones can contact each other to transfer voice (still data, but a specific kind of data). You want to set the phones up... to transfer data... to a computer? Why not just use the computer?

Now, I'm as much a fan of Rube Goldberg schemes as the next guy, but uh, I don't think it's appropriate in this situation.

I know exactly what you (the OP) wants.

An LCD display with a touch sensitive screen (with stylus) on each phone, so that in your conversation, you can send hand written notes to each other. The screen would use the same technology as PDAs or tablet computers. Very doable IMO.

I don't get the mirrors or light beam, there are numerous more efficient means to transfer files and data amongst devices.
