My childhood dreams came true. I'd play a racing game on Nintendo and wish the other cars were other actual people. Even told my dad, "Someday people will be driving those cars." He laughed, said it was impossible. Then years later I found myself on a PC playing racing against people from all over the planet, while a little kid was yelling in my ear and calling me names... That little kid had no clue how amazing it was to even be losing.
Even though I joke around a lot, part of the appeal of being online for me is the fact the best conversations I've ever had take place online. It's rare I get to sit around with people and have those interestingly deep conversations. Even these days I'm sitting around a fire and they're talking about the same drivel Facebook feeds them. So many times in my head I could finish their sentences. We're in deep now. Even my parents are on their phones all the time, repeating things to me. Angry about things they were never angry about before. It's eerie.
In deep, yes for sure. Things have gone so far. Was only saying to my brother (the non-hive one) today about what things may be like in 20 years. It's unlikely I'll be around but still, didn't fill me with hope.
More of the same but far more efficiently. This thing will be finishing our sentences for us.
Lol...Can't wait for hive to write my posts for me.
There's a device in development that transfers our thoughts directly into technology that can deliver it to another device. No more typing. No need to talk. Because that only slows us down. That's true but what happens over time is we will not be able to tell the difference between our own thoughts and what is interpreted as our thoughts by this device. If you thought a typo was bad... just wait. How do you tell someone, "That's not what I was thinking."
