The day is quickly winding down on this hot La La Land day and that’s probably for the best, after all the heat alone can turn a man’s brain into jelly and that won’t do anymore. I was tempted by the bottle but reasoned that dealing with a brutal hangover tomorrow just wasn’t worth it – I have to think of the future and of the possibilities I seek in it. The news had my attention, Israel is under attack, could this be the big war that the ancient prophets had predicted? A brilliant thought struck me but it was tempered by the fact that I was in this very moment wasting away in my office with nothing but a loyal canine companion to keep me company.
It was then that I remembered the Power Computer – the one big thing that could make any life easier and allow one to be a part of something bigger. Typing out my musings and forming the words seemed to help the fog of an overwhelming day start to lift. I took to my keyboard, allowing the words to spill out of my brain and onto the screen. I had no grand agenda or target audience in mind, but it seemed like a noble exercise. As my musings were coming to an end, the skies erupted with cyberpunk orange and purple as the sun prepared to surrender to the night.
Once upon a time I had come up with an excellent phrase, ‘The Great Repository of the Future Digital Wasteland’, and I jotted it down in my notebook. Even though this innovation was still eons away, I felt a surge of inspiration coursing through me even as the sun began its descent, and in the flicker of the fading light of day I could already make out the picture of what was to come, of a cyberpunk orange glow bouncing off of the buildings in my neighborhood. It was good, that feeling of anticipation that the future is sure to bring, and with a sigh of contentment I settled back into my chair until next time. Out in La La Land.
