Just before I woke up, I had a dream that involved some sort of super-advanced technological device. It appeared to be a marble-sized, shiny, metallic ball from a ball bearing, but was capable of all sorts of vaguely spelled out activities. It was an autonomous computer. Specific memories are that you could roll it around in your hand but it would never roll off, it acted as a magnet to your bones or something. It could also change shape, and get this, you could put it in your mouth and it would simulate being an everlasting gobstopper!
I nearly forgot about it but was reminded of it again while thinking about the capabilities of my phone. In a 45 minute period, I used it as a musical instrument on a recording, unplugged it from the computer, stuck headphones in it and used it as an mp3 player while I rode my bike, took two pictures with it, and subsequently posted them to Twitter. I could have even written this blog with it, I suppose, but I still struggle with the tiny keyboard. The future is now. :)
Last night I used it to scratch a part of my back that I couldn't reach. I found that pretty amusing:
It is a post-apocalyptic landscape, in the ruins of what was once clearly a major metropolis. A lone, hairy bipedal being is foraging and discovers an iPhone. He examines it curiously, sniffs it, then discovers it can be used to scratch an unreachable spot on his back. It is an exciting discovery, he can't wait to show the others...
