Occasionally this dream occurs where a giant computer is visualized controlling the entire planet Earth. The color is vivid, details succinct and Congress doesn't mangle the definition of spam. Its called a Giant Computer, but in reality no bigger than the former Mac Cube. The technology is highly advance to the point where my wandering fingers received a good jolt of joy juice when I attempted to look in. Not ready yet, I guess.......So I will observe and report back:
1. The operating system isn't Microsoft which means Bill Gates will not be entitled to residual licensing fees in the hereafter.
2. It's efficient and secure precluding security updates, critical updates, update updates, etc.
3. A finger moving in front of the monitor substitutes for the mouse. Middle finger action was not responsive whatsoever indicating Vice-President Dick Cheney hasn't used it.
4. One piece of software controlled everything from system to anything else needed. Our software industry would be devastated!! They would no longer be vendors......
5. Hackers, spyware creators, virus originators, etc. were automatically sent to the other place where they could obviously intrude on the really hot systems with specialists who will train them like the devil.
6. Computers are multifaceted audiovisual components where one could communicate, write, view, etc., on a wall mounted unit. And they were free due to the encouragement of knowledge dissemination.
7. No popups, popovers, popunders or advertising in any form. Just pure art, culture, books, plays, broadway, so much to see, so much to do. Even travel to Paris or London is a special portal to call a new play.
8. Linus Torvald is revered as a software deity who tried to bring free change to the masses.
9. The Blue Screen of Death is regarded a a computer history aberration meant to annoy rather than inform. Kinda like filling out a car before you use the bathroom.
10. Controls can be issued either verbally or through a virtual keyboard controlled by thought. All you have to do is send thoughts toward the keyboard and they mysteriously appear on the screen. You can do the same to with a conversation.
11. Their is a beautiful a beautiful scene depicting a blue sky, green grass and a single tombstone with MS RIP engraved on the outskirts.
12. Steve Jobs and Koz are working on some super products not revealed yet, but its cool..
13. Intellectual stimulation and competition is the norm instead of pursuing personal or collective gain.
14. Tux is in charge of overall morale and is currently planning a MS System Compter Shoot Skeet Contest using 105mm and 155mm howitzers. MS can also reply in kind as well. Slight problem, though, no projectile or powder in the howitzers so lets get those air guns going.
15. Lastly, it's only a dream, but they have an uncanny way of becoming reality to those bold enough to imagine. Where do you want to go today? Think! Just Imagine!
Where did they all go?
Addendum:
a. Added later per suggestion from STARKERS. What a wonderful coffee machine, fully functional and remote controlled. Remote controlled, that is, to your brain pattern which tells it exactly what your order is and delivers it to your home, table, car, or work. Desire a bagel or something similiar, a mobile microwave runs beside it after taking your order and both deliver your fresh pick-me-ups. Thus far decaffeinated coffee has not been included in the menu since very little artificial stimulation is left-not even enough to get bruised ankles from the trolleys.
b. Relationships haven't changed much from prior in this dream. You can use the computer to select a potential or simply set up a circumstance to meet your choice without him/her realizing it. In fact, you won't even be aware they may be doing the same thing. Perhaps you never will!!!!
