Where’s my pick?
I don’t know where my pick went
Oh, there it is
Right
Uh, so this is the bassline we’ve got
I’m at the beach
And there’s fish flying through the air
And I’ll play you my favourite song
Why won’t you sing along?
She closes the lid
And unplugs the device
No bigger than her thumb
From the computer
My lifes work, she says. But, it isnt her lifes work
You see, we store information like an Escher painting
It shouldn’t all fit in there. But, it does
And every day we manage to fit more and more into smaller and smaller spaces until one day
She says
We will be able to fit all the information the world has
Everything that everyone knows and believes and dreams
Into nothing
It will all be there. Stored and filed
Tagged with any keywords you might imagine
Our hard drives will be thin air
They will make nanobots look like elephants
And elephants will be in there too. Tagged. Accessible with search terms
Like grey, ivory
And the largest land dwelling mammal
We will process away at nothing and understand everything
We will think of a word and the information will slip in, not through our ears or eyes
But straight thorough our skin. Information will breathe in and out of us
Permeate our skin
Our knowing will be as deep as it is wide
You see our work here is to learn so much
To be so full of knowing
That all there is left to do is unlearn
Humanity must get to a point where we let go
We leave the useless ideas and the spent ideologies in the recycle bin
Like an adolescent brain shedding neurons
Like a snake slithering from its old skin
Like an old man who has come to understand so well the point where reality meets the intangible that he is able to decide which breath will be his last. And, he will enjoy that breath more than any that he has taken in his entire life
And, her lifes work is more than a four meg flash drive
OK
That’s enough of that
Sorry about that
