Interesting Stuff from a Lazy Writer

Now, if we are all going to live in smaller spaces and put up with it, you must have the illusion that you are not in a jail cell. We can accomplish that, check out the video from Microsoft.

Something else I have discussed is also on display in Las Vegas this week at the big computer convention. Yahoo News - Could Eye-Tracking Replace Your Mouse? There is a nice video that shows how well it works. Your phone, computer and television will all be watching your eyes in the future. The data it retrieves will be used to determine what you were really interested in.

While I was reading the news tonight I came across this disturbing little article. It is from a website called "mydailymoment.com". The website seems to be aimed at women and talks about love and health and beauty. It seems quaint enough; but, there is another side to it. Here is one of their newer articles - The Pros and Cons of One-Night Stands. The number one benefit it lists for having sex with a stranger is that you can have "Mind-blowing Sex". It goes on to claim it can be a big ego boost, that you can be "liberated" in bed and finally that it can be good for helping you to later have a serious relationship. As concerns it mentions that you might get a disease, you might become depressed or you might become attached to the person. You understand becoming attached to a person is a bad thing. The article then tells you how to properly go about having a one night stand and suggests you never use your real name.

When you look at these technologies and morality tales, we seem to be headed to a world where we live in a virtual imitation of life and rather than have in person relationships, we are to have meaningless sex with meaningless people while having our real relationships be online and virtual and safe.

So, let me tell you the planned future. Ten years from now, people in their 20s will be happy to live in 250 square foot apartments. They will be able to travel where they want virtually in an immersive environment that is anywhere you want to go to and any type of universe you wish to live in. You will communicate real time with other people from all over the world in your language. You will find love in people that you cannot be with in person; but, have sex with people who don't matter to you and it will be okay with everyone involved.

Now here is the real question you should be asking yourself. What will the world look like when people tell their secrets to people they don't know in person and trust their heart to people they don't know in person while sleeping with people they do know in person; but, at best they know their name.

Here is the thing I learned in my life, touch matters. We need the human touch, we need a touch that says that we matter because we do and a strangers touch cannot convey that because we don't to them. Remember the best touch you have ever felt in life, nothing can compare, it soothes and comforts and conveys that you matter. We used to long for a chance just to hold another's hand. Young people don't understand or know that anymore.

There is nothing as intimate and more importantly revealing, as having sex with someone. It goes beyond the pleasure, it encompasses all of our senses. Our sense of taste, sight, sound, touch and most importantly smell. Our smell memories are the strongest memories of all senses. That is a fact.

There is a lady that reads my blog, she is not listed as a follower. She watched me get in trouble once for arguing against promiscuous sex. My opinion has not changed. I believe that sex can be one of the greatest demonstrations of true love. I believe that we can become the most attached when sight, sound, smell, taste and touch of our significant others invades us and unites us as one. Or, at least can be that way if we let it.

What becomes of the human experience if it ceases being human and about humans? What is our life about when it is just about living a fantasy? What does it mean if you willingly put yourself in the matrix? We are knowingly and willingly building a "Matrix" world to live in.
