Call me a day dreamer, an optimistic wisher of things I have little control of, but there are just some things in this world that I wish I could do more with. Recently I have been playing Mass Effect, from Bioware (people who made star wars knights of the old republic), and I am really enjoying it. In a nutshell you are a bad ass soldier who saves the galaxy, set in the future, they have some really cool things I wish I had now. There are these people called engineers that use what is called an omni-tool, which is a computer on your wrist that, when activated, creates a hologram around the users forearm and hand. It can communicate with other people, hack into terminals, decrypt files, the whole shabang!
I was wondering to myself how could we do something like this in our generation. I would love something like this, and it doesn't even have to be all hologram. Feels like the world is in a stalemate of technology and we need a new resource or spark to start another industrial revolution.
What this ties into is that we have so much potential that we are not tapping into as the human race. Hell we only use 10% of our brains, so why not try something new?
There are so many things that I want to work with and work on, ask my wife, I want to go to all these schools to gather knowledge. I have this thirst for knowledge that seems only quenchable by doing something with it, and not just anything something big, something that is really going to change people's life.
Maybe it will be my software engineering, maybe my opinion and point of view on the world, or maybe it will be my music ( that would be awesome to do the whole Bill and Ted thing where their music established world peace lol).
In any case, I have all this potential that I feel inside of me, I need to find another source to put it into. At some point it shall be my children who will inherit this blessing/curse, but until then..........
The future is woven from the fabric of the past.
