"Musical" thinking...the future is parallel communication

Can humans evolve beyond their predominant linear thinking and communications? Given that information exchange between humans - from person-to-person or from one-to-many, as in broadcast and streaming media - is largely linear - one idea at a time, one word at a time, a serial information exchange model, could humans devise a way to communicate multiple streams of knowledge simultaneously, similar to how music presents multiple stacked tonal ideas or threads together complex emotional context in time? In the old days of computers, there were serial interfaces - either simplex or duplex for linear exchange of data, bit-by-bit, and there were parallel interfaces where multiple bits were transmitted simultaneously - increasing transfer rates. Humans seem stuck in the simplex serial model of information exchange. Can we evolve to a more musical or parallel data information exchange model? What would it take to adapt to this? What would be the advantages? Are Gen Z kids already sorta doing this when they engage in multiple online activities while watching to TV or listening to music and talking with friends simultaneously? Does Elon Musk's Neurolink technology aspire to be that parallel human interface? Would overcoming our linear/serial mind allow more efficient communications with future A.I. entities - helping humans better merge with or co-exist with technological entities?
