Well, this reminds me of a novel by David Gerrold "When HARLIE Was One (Release 2.0)" The book even mentions a "hyperstate processor" and, without giving to much away, a Graphical Omniscient Device (G.O.D). The similarities are pretty interesting.
From experience with my kids when they were toddlers, they would type what they saw. I was kind of freaked out when my son typed "WARNING". They watched VHS tapes or DVDs that began with that message.
I hope that they might consider incorporating some of what made PhotoSIG so enjoyable. One thing in particular was the ability to search for community photos by lens type, camera type, film type, location, etc. I know you can do this with search engines and to some extent in flicker, but I like the way it was implemented there.
