Random Thought #145

I love Sci-Fi. For all the weirdness of aliens and strange worlds and gadgets, those who write about Science Fiction are truly visionaries and they leave their minds open to endless possibilities. I like this kind of thinking because it doesn't constrain the human potential and curiosity. It lets them roam free. Its interesting that many of the things that seem futuristic and impossible 50 years ago are now realities or soon will be. Think about Dick Tracy's watch or Captain Kirk's communicator? Pretty soon, we're gonna have computers built into our watches. Its the latest craze. Or consider it from this perspective. Everyone nowadays has a cell phone pretty much. Think just 150 years ago, if you showed someone a cell phone, they would think its some sort of witchcraft or sorcery or magic. Shoot, you might have been killed for playing with dark magic. If we never let our minds expand and play freely, we'll never make any kinds of new discoveries or learn anything. If there is something I don't understand or can't comprehend, I take the approach, that its possible and I just don't know how to do it yet and I want to learn how. Its so much more liberating and exciting and you never run out of things to learn or random thoughts ;)
