Kids, computers and the future

    Having computers, learning computers and using computers is really good, but think of the consequences of future computing. For one, if computing power reaches planetary porportions, we are going to be in a mess with all the data that’s produced. Sure, they teach kids a lot, but think of that. We still must provide thinking power with the data to arrive at answers to the results.

    Do we want designer babies? How about robots that do our thinking? Or aggressive cars on the road? Unmanageable laws? Automatic houses that fall apart. Food processors that decide not to do the work they were designed to. Stereos that change channels when we want one. Lights switching on in the middle of the night. Or units that power up when we want to save. Non-working self-tying “Back to the Future” shoes. The list is endless.

    Computing is a resource, but in this time of global realization, for 10 billion people, all resources need to be managed, and managed better than we are doing right now. We could start right here. You might say, there’s nothing I could do or let someone else do it. What about using the connections to others we have now? Because now is when this will happen. Tell friends, talk is the one communication available to us we still have. Create a way to slow the juggernaut. Before it is too late.

052014 Santa Maria discovered…

”In 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue”, or so you may have remembered. Well, he quit the Santa Maria when reaching the New World, after it sank about 12 miles off of Haiti. This was announced in a New York boat club recently, a few days ago. The Santa Maria discovery may have been named too soon, though armaments, wooden ship items of the era and planking was found where it had been recorded by Christopher Columbus, then. It is believed to be so. Found from a written record, this was released. . Who knows what remnants of that time will be recovered? Visions of pirate bones, treasure and doubloons swim in our collective heads. This important discovery has the government involved.
