Shifting consciousness

Overall, if consensus was established among rational minds, what might be the greatest technological possibility that one can experience?

Certainly, would it not be most ecstatic if any single person can, somehow be able to instantly shift their mode of consciousness (with all consequent variables of perception) to that of another creature? In turn, if it is life other than ourselves - different species - what incredible opportunities for learning would appear, as if out of the nothing? To understand the very last atom of life outside of oneself - possibilities for creation would evolve like fractals; an ocean of infinite knowledge. All forms of communication would appear indeed sisyphean, for what are they but sieves for crumbling dust?

Communication - even direct language - often fails at the point of expression, words with far more limitations than thought can conceive. Then the impossibility of interpretation by what can only be described as the observers - mere models, far removed from the platonic ideals, is what understanding between lives currently consists of.
