I spend a lot of time in front of a computer. My average working week might be 3 days in the office, doing presentations, spreadsheets, documents etc, and a couple of days in meetings or in the car. In addition I have to maintain my music collection, update my ipod, buy and sell on ebay etc, all of which require further sitting on ass.
So I thought whether, if it was available, whether I would have a computer or computer interface surgically implanted in me to make my life easier and allow me to do complex spreadsheeting whilst on the rowing machine.
The answer is yes! Think about it…no more brainstorming on paper, you could load up your mind mapping software straight in to the programme. A bluetooth connection would allow me to transmit it to my PC, or hey a WiFi connection would allow me to send it straight to printer. No more “are you busy on tuesday?”, MS Outlook (brain edition) would be able to tell me immediately and all I would have to do would be to synchronise with my laptop when I get in to the office.
MS Word (brain edition) would help me get my blogs done quickly without having to find a table or internet connection, and when in WiFi range, boom! Uploaded instanteously.
Big drawbacks include viruses and the painful yearly service and upgrade (”where are you going to insert those memory sticks??”) but this would be worth while if you could listen to your iPod Pico (come on it’ll happen) without having to untangle your white “mug me” headphones from your pocket.
But the biggest advantage of electronic augmentation? Think about it… Bored on a train bus traffice queue, come on you no the answer…
Brain solitaire….come on!!!
The jury is still out on whether I would have an Armalite MH-12 Maghook fitted. Could be useful but a bit of a conversation killer at parties.
‘So you have an Armalite MH-12 Maghook fitted? Where?’
‘Alimentary, my dear Watson’
groan.
