For my few futurist-minded, crazy, sci friends. I’ve had an invention for about 30 years. With it, we can create almost anything we want just by thinking about it. Here’s the deal... It would require only three technological components, plus required intermediate components. 1) Brain Impulse Transcription (BIT) — For a few decades, we’ve been able to stimulate parts of the brain to vividly recall memories, and we can actually show images of thoughts on a screen. All we need to figure out is how to interpret those images. Put that in your pocket for now. 2) Holograph Projection (HP) technology — see the Haunted Mansion, Disneyland. 3) Magnetic Touch Sensory (MTS) — see Lost In Space force-field fence. (Richard Ko - you invent this part after you take that class next semester.) Now we put them together in the most succinct form: 1)The BIT perfects translation of whatever picture - let’s say a chair - you have in your mind. It is stored in and delivered by a computer microchip; 2) and coupled with a miniature holographic projection device which casts the image toward where the user is looking or otherwise directing the image (chair) to go (existing “fly by wire” technology). 3) Now by also projecting MTS (or it’s best computed suitable interpretation), Physicality and the sensation of Mass would be created, so... YOU COULD SIT IN THE CHAIR THAT YOU JUST THOUGHT OF. In other words, “... Anything you want, then do it; want to change the world? there’s nothing to it.” (From the song “Imagination” from the original film Willlie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.) Yeah, it’s a crazy idea, but I’m not nuts. This particular concept might never work out, but don’t think it’s impossible that, by say, the year AD2214 or AD6514 or AD358614, it’s likely that there’d be technological advancements just as unimaginable as the conclusion to the preposterous stringing together of unproven ideas such as this strand, that just one guy like me thought when he was a kid? Exponentially, since access to global trade and written public communication was achieved, society-shaking technologies have revved to now affect each generation, (and the sociology of the four or so generations who coexist generation to generation) - something before unheard of to deal with, when you think about it. The pace is spiraling, creating paths which exclude the less electronically connected of our society - from Wall Street, to the Grandma who’s left out much of the rest of the family’s Facebook in-touchness and wants a real phone call or letter. As we encounter the future, when we invent stuff like my “Anything You Want Machine”, or the next social or other medium, I sure hope that a good sense of the best of our souls might somehow find a way into the changes which surely come our way like a rain as has never been seen before.
