You'll have to forgive as I'm feeling a bit philosophical this morning.
When I went traveling on my golf trip back in 2009-10 I would stop at tourist "traps" that interested me or nature trails or national parks and the like. When I would go on my hikes, short or long, I would always have my ear buds in, listening to music as I walked. My Xiaomi (cell phone) is now about 4 years old and the battery is just not what it use to be. Good thing I bought a new cell phone but I won't have it for another week of two. I took it on one hike and it was dead before I made it back to the car. So, I no longer listen to music but only take pictures; seems to be working out just fine. But man, not listening to music allows your mind to really wander.
And here's where it really gets bizarre!
I'm guessing that some day in the probably not so distant future we will all have both ocular implants and cerebral implants to enhance the human experience. So wherever you go your sights and thoughts will be constantly recorded. The seeing things, I can't "see" (get the pun) in hitches in this. Who wouldn't want to relive the beauty in life and as for the bad, well, trials would be a lot simpler, right?!?
It's the cerebral implant that I think will be really, really goofy. Especially in the beginning. Our minds, well, at least mine, doesn't think in a straight line of thought, but instead is jumping every which way. I am only guessing here, but I'll bet any scientist looking at my cerebral recordings for the first time would seek to commit me. I would be having a great conversation with myself, or giving a profound speech, or solving a world problem, only to be diverted by other thoughts creeping in and out. Is everyone else like that?
Might also be the "sins be shouted from the roof tops" method of judging ourselves. Yikes!! Last thing I would want is someone crawling through my mind. The funny part, they'd probably get lost! lol
The hike I took was a fairly easy hike. It was a "greenway" in the middle of a subdivision in Tallahassee, Florida. And like most hikes I've been on, even though they show water (lakes, ponds, golf, ocean) the trails themselves very rarely even get close to the water. What is with that!!?? But it was a beautiful day and I enjoyed the hike and I'm still feeling fine this morning. Knee are good, back is a little stiff; but what's unusual about that!!
