What the mind's eye can envision, no photo could ever capture.
Angels, innocence and the hues found only in emotions of wonderment. These are the elements of imagination found in the mind of every dreamer who awoke to the flame driven desire to create what has never been seen. These dreamers grant us a glimpse into their minds and allow us to share what could be, what is and what should never be.
I often think of the days when I bought my first computer. By today's standards it would be laughed at and thought to be a bad joke, a toy or just plain silly. At the time it was cutting edge, in it's time. Today I smile every time I hear someone talk about how fast computers are today. Ipads, Iphones and the like are truly amazing, here in their time. The home computer is still much like the ones in the early eighties. A microprocessor, memory and a operating code consisting of ones and zeros.
Funny, how we all think today's technology is so great.
The human mind functions through the transfer of light at intervals and intensity, through billions of synapses or gateways. The technology of the mind is millions of years old. Our brains haven't changed much at all from when we lived in caves and had no language. Yet, we have evolved from the way we process the input from our senses and how we react to that information. Your brain is the supercomputer of today. What of tomorrow, my friend? Will we still be using zeros and ones to process our data in our laptops?
I will make a bet with you. One day in the not so distant future, computer science will mimic the human mind. The speeds we will process data at don't even have a name, yet. The way we look problems don't even have a point of view, yet. The way we think about our senses haven't even been imagined. yet. Yes, we will look back at today's wonders and simple laugh. We will wonder how we ever got through the day without the wonders of tomorrow. Close your eyes and look to tomorrow, what you see in your mind's eye shall come to be.
And that cool gadget called "Google glass", the computer built into sunglasses . . . . . a toy that a three year old will learn their chosen second or third language with, in it's time.
What we see today is only a glimpse of what we will live tomorrow. What you see in your mind is the key to your future. Where you go today is a just a side trip on the gateway to your future. What you think today is what you will live tomorrow.
