He…
I’m a programmer, and one of my long-ongoing ideas is a halfbaked concept for something you can store ideas in. Ideally, it should be something as easy as paper or plain text files, but more searchable, extremely interconnected like ideas, always accessible… but with less crap in the way like most “creativity” apps… yeah… the unbaked half is still lingering in the stores…
It’s fascinating how we can analyse petabytes of usage data and predict earthquakes, but the human brain is still a mystery and we can’t even describe what an “idea” is in our fancy mathematics… Not that that would “invalidate” your joke – storing data for an artificial intelligence is easy, it’s this crazy human stuff that makes everything hard. Which is great, because life in data alone sucks.
I don’t know about you, but I’m finding myself suddenly exhausted, for some reason. 😉 I often wonder if we will ever get to a point where we will have the ability to interface our brain with say, a USB port, and data storage. We could plug-in every night and back up our minds while we sleep. Error: Time Machine does not recognize attached peripheral device.
It is exhausting indeed. I couldn’t imagine how exhausting a job can be that involves sitting in front of a computer all day before I actually started. But on the other hand I’m not dependent on the mood swings of my creativity. 😉 Everybody chooses his own hell, I guess…
Here’s another fun fact: According to current trends, it should only take a couple more decades until digital storage is cheap enough that a normal hard drive can store all the data of a human brain. So it might actually be possible to make a backup. But restoring the data to the brain will probably still be a challenge. On the other hand, computer science is only a few decades old, and it has come far, so who knows…
