The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled.
It’s a curious time we live in, where paradise has to compete with pixels. The sun shines, the breeze flirts with the trees, and laughter echoes off the water—but none of it registers if your eyes never leave the cell phone screen. Back in my day, folks used to sit by the water to feel the sun on their backs, let their thoughts drift like sailboats, and maybe chat with whoever wandered close enough to hear a hello. But now? You see a man poolside, wearing his T-shirt like a hooded monk in lavender briefs, hunched over like an ostrich mid-denial—not in prayer or meditation—but squinting at a glowing rectangle that’s stolen his attention and possibly his soul. We used to bury treasure in the sand—now we bury our heads in it just to check our notifications
Maybe someday we’ll look up and remember how to be present. But until then, there we sit—bathing in sunlight, blind to it—scrolling endlessly, while life waits politely for us to notice it’s still happening.
WHEN SMARTPHONES ARE NOT ENOUGH – Whats next?
Now the future wants a front-row seat in your skull. Companies like Neuralink are drilling through the bone to lace your brain with threads finer than a human hair, all so your thoughts can talk to machines faster than your fingers ever could. It ain’t science fiction anymore—it’s lab-tested, FDA-reviewed, and one clinical trial away from becoming the next social network, minus the need for a screen. They say we’ll be able to Google just by thinking, communicate brain-to-brain without speaking, and control devices with the twitch of a neuron. Somewhere along the way, thinking for yourself might require a software update.
They call it a brain-computer interface, or BCI if you’re in a hurry, and they’re racing to make it wireless, seamless, and invisible. But here’s the catch—when your thoughts can be read, who else might be reading them? And when a machine can write back, how do you know where the thought came from? The same people who brought you pop-up ads and auto-play videos now want a portal into your cerebrum. It’s all being pitched as liberation from the limits of the flesh—but you’d better ask yourself who’s holding the keys to the app store in your mind. Because once you connect your brain to the cloud, it might not just be your ideas floating up there.
Just don’t jump in the pool.
