Of course I am sure we are all aware of the emergence of Nanotechnologies in recent years-the idea being that tiny little robots built from atoms smaller than the human eye can be built to carry out all sorts of undoable by human activities.
The Doctor Who episodes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Empty_Child and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Doctor_Dances
Were typical examples of futuristic ideas as to what can be achieved with Nanotechnologies. Although in those episodes we are given an example of how it went wrong and was then corrected.
As many of you are aware my daughter and her sisters are all named after flowers and a very strange but true story exists in relation to these flower names. I am unsure as to the exact time as it has now been some 10 years since my return to Hereford yet during the first year or two of my return a girlfriend who fell pregnant went on to lose the child. Although she never really existed as such my then girlfriend named the baby Lily.
A few years went by and then I happened to notice that a pleasant work colleague on my Facebook list was worried about her new niece who (I think) had difficulties at birth. That baby went on to be named Lily. I see again now that another new Lily has appeared. so much like the idea of Nanotechnologies I think that some Aliens must have come down and released a Lily nanotechnology into the collective populations psychology. It’s becoming like Invasion of the body Snatchers just keep watching the Skies-I am sure that it won’t be long before the mother ship arrives to start harvesting us all much like the reptilians in that other 80’s Sci-Fi classic TV series V.
Of course when we are talking about the roman numeral V (5) or the letter V we have to take into consideration old Winston Churchill and his famous V for Victory finger salute, very different from the reverse finger salute that many folks have adopted in the many years since the 2nd World War. Of course anyone who has ever researched the alphabet will know that either one or the other of the letters V and U were actually brought in to accompany the other letter only to later have its own more singular identity. What does that mean well quite simply if I wanted to write the words CLOUDS pretending I was writing in some ye olde roman style I would very likely write it as CLOVDS. Talking of clouds of course most of the Internet and web-browsing and computing in general is now going to what technologist’s call Cloud Computing. The idea being presented that we can store infinite quantities of data and so on in some abstract place called the cloud and that our phones and home PCs are now becoming little more than terminals. By terminal I mean that they are simply End-User Interface access to processes and so on that are being carried out elsewhere. Much like the idea of a Swarm or cloud where the Cloud is made up of many WATER molecules. This idea has been gradually worked towards for a number of years. the benefit being that wherever you are if you have data stored in the cloud that you would like access to-you can call upon it from wherever you are as long as you have a device enabled for such activities.
Well what else can I talk about on a Wednesday hmmn. Ah yes I am once again waiting for another delivery. I ordered some activity type stuff on-line at the weekend for my visiting daughter and today finally a package arrived and of course it was not the main package-I have no idea why the company has split the order up but it was not what I was expecting them to do. I halve expected to get one of those annoying card envelopes saying please come and collect your package from the local post Office Depot because the postman has no patience to wait for doors to be opened and most definitely does not ring twice.
Well that’s enough for me to be getting on with, God Bless or as I have repeatedly said may the belief system that most appeals to you go with you in strength and purpose TTFN 🙂
