Always connected

One of the things I'd like to see happen in my life (but don't think will unfortunately), is the true meaning of "Always Connected". At the moment, I'm rarely awake without a PC somewhere near me being on. But it's the "somewhere near me" that irks me... near is not nearly enough. The problem is that I tend to have great ideas when I can't get to a PC to write them down. Case in point is when I'm feeding/settling Aurora. In the dark whilst I settle her, my mind goes to great places... only to wait, wait, wait, until I get to the PC to write the stuff down. And even then, it takes far too long to type all this out with my slow clumsy fingers (and I'm quite a proficient typist actually). I want to be able to think it, and when I do, I want it stored somewhere, ready for retrieval later. That's what human memory is... but it's so limited. For example, how do I share that with other people? How do I make it more reliable? (God knows mine has some bad sectors and heavy fragmentation) Could you imagine what would be possible if this was the case? Imagine the novel you could write. Or the songs you could construct. Or what about the great scientific breakthroughs that would be possible in a shared mind. Fantastic stuff... but not impossible. All in time... but not in mine I'm afraid.

i agree totally, all those ideas, lyrics, new band names, whistled/barked melodies, and it's always when you're like trapped in a car/meeting/shower/feeding a little monster who is determined to smear all the food on herself and the high chair...
