Back in the day few people had the capacity to Broadcast.

Even on a college campus with a decent network, you ran the risk of getting kicked off if you misused the Broadcast address. Why? Cause there were software and hardware limitations that would bring down or cripple the network.

All that has been overcome. And now everyone on the planet can broadcast 24x7 almost for free.

This is the big issue.

If every neuron in the brain had Broadcast capability how would such a brain work?
