heh heh, water is a great source of analogies, I just used one in another post maybe 20 minutes ago...

Heres the one I like: We are but a wave on the ocean. One day we will crash upon the shore. The wave seems to have dissapeared, but in fact it has just been returned to the sea...
This is of course all random, and you are directly influenced by the time and conditions of the day that your wave rises... (you can't be an astronaut if there's no space program yet, though in a later time you might have been the greatest astronaut of all time, in your time you die on the street as a bum. If there is no wind on the day your wave arises, it will be a meager one. If there is a hurricane, you may move a city.)

I would have had liked to have relpied to all the new posts,  but I'll just "hitchhike" onto Uylsees' post for the time being. :wink:

I used to say in my masters program, "The future is like a big ocean wave... you can either swim against it, or, swim with it to the shore." Metaphorically, what's the point in resisting the 'uber-mind' and its current?

Here's a water metaphor I like: the river that flows in both directions at the same time. I came up with it one day by chance, but I'm sure the general idea can be applied to many things.

On the topic: if I read skinsuit to be a full-emersion 3d virtual reality force-feedback and input suit, what's after that? Well I do have some blueprints for a 3d graphics "vorxel" generator using intersecting coherent light. I came up with that in 5th grade. :smile: It would generate both light and heat "vorxels" - heat being used for a sense of feeling whatever's visually generated giving it a physical presence. Gotta get my hands on the right technology one of these days and run some experiments.

I saw a doo-hickey on the web the other day that turns in both directions at once... It was a revolving wheel thing and when you shift your perception a little bit it starts revolving the other way, though you realize that it isn't revolving at all... Don't remember where that was.

Hehe. Sounds like Gestalt psychology applied to web graphics. I :heart: the Internet.
