Thoughts in the Void

They say the human brain is more powerful than the most sophisticated computer. The problem with it is the limited storage space. Sometimes I feel that all my thoughts will just come spilling out of every orifice, staining my clothes.

So I thought, where can I go and siphon off some of my thoughts? Naturally, cyberspace is a prime candidate. With thousands of Terabytes of storage and growing exponentially every day, the internet is a wasteland of cyber-porn, social networks and e-commerce. Surely one small voice choking out a few words every now then will be welcome there.

So here it is, my contribution to cyberspace. Hello, great CyberVoid.

  1. This is the modern world's rough equivalent to JK Rowling's Pensieve. Although text based and with some limited graphics, it doesn't beat replay value of a pensieve.

    Who is complaining? I'm happy just being here. Scribbling on the cyberwall, earning a niche in an attempt of getting immortalized!

    I'm sure the creatures who got stuck in a tree's sap would beg to disagree.

  2. You know, I never really thought of it that way. But now that you compared it to the pensieve, I´m thinking, yeah! That´s exactly how it is.

    Just think of this as our tree sap. Our words here will live, if not forever, long after we are gone. Think about it. We can become petroleum based products for future generations, or we can get stuck in the cyber-tree-sap.
