I have so much to do that blogging should not even be on the list. But I had a thought this morning and really wanted to put this down, before I forget it.
I think someone out there needs to create something that can Google my head. After motherhood, my memory has deteriorated so badly, I can't remember people's names when I'm looking right at them. Or what a food is called that I'm eating. I find myself logging onto Google for daily reminders all the time. "What did I see that actress in before?" - when I'm watching TV. Did I use butter or cream? - when I'm cooking. I don't bother trying to remember anymore, I just Google it, because the file cabinets in my head are full.
Thinking about that made me realize that I need more. I need it for my personal life, not just what is interesting and common to all the other web users. I need a search engine for my brain. For instance, "Where did I put my keys?" I blink and a chip just filters through all the mess and comes up with: Right pocket, brown coat. And extra links will offer, Coat in: Hall closet.
Or I'm staring at some child from daycare and their parents are talking to me and I quickly, invisibly, Google my head for Linda's images and a pic of the kid pops up with "Marcus, age 2 yrs, 8 months" under it, and I continue my conversation, "yes, Marcus has gotten so big, too! But he's nearly 3".
I may pay extra to have the "Google My Office" so that when I go on vacation, I can truly check out and not have to remember work stuff at all. When I return and someone says, "How much are you spending on all of your designers?" I can Google my head in the Office app for Budgets; Designers. Or if my boss askes, " What is the corporate policy on using the Brand in advertisements?" I can Google my Office head and check out the sublinks for Branding, Trade Advertising, Policies & Restrictions and ::poof:: I seem so caught up and in the moment. When in reality, I was still playing in the snow with my son.
But someone please come up with it soon, my cells are decreasing as we speak.

OMG - what a fabulous idea - I want it too!
ReplyDeleteDitto to all you said. In addition, I want a chip in my head that is a digital camera and additional memory. I want to snap a photo by blinking...I want to capture my husband and child when they are sleeping in that sort of soft focus, early morning light, fuzzy vision that I have when I first wake up. I don't want to move, I don't want to grab the camera, which of course is no where to be found near by. But I want to remember those faces and that light forever...
ReplyDeleteKristene - OMGosh, you are so right. Now if we can just develope, manufacture, market and distribute this, we'd be rich!
