The Human Instrumentality Project

Saturday, July 31, 2004

I wish I was in a MUD, and had a floating disc on which to store all my equipment. Or that I was Doraemon, with a pocket of limitless space. The ones who determine the doctrines are not the ones carrying the stores, so they'll never understand the agony of the people who have to carry packs of equipment weighing more than 30kg.

It would be nice as well, if everyone had an internal camera, implanted into the eyes. All it took to capture a snapshot of what the eye sees would be a single, simple thought. Everyday I see photo moments, video moments -- they occur at the most unexpected times.

Then again, if everything culd be recorded and saved, people might begin to take it for granted. Personally, I have many VCDs of cartoons, anime, drama serials, that either cost me a lot of money to buy or a lot of time to download. :P However, whenever I have free time, it never occurs to me to take them out and watch them. After all, since I have them in storage, I can watch them anytime I like. Which happens to be not now, not ever. Same goes for photo albums. My family's photo albums lie yellow and musty in a cabinet, untouched for months or even years. Photographs are taken, sent for development, returned and stuffed into albums, and then sentenced to life imprisonment, with a chance to see the sunlight every few years.

Just learnt a new acronym. WFFI = Wait For Further Instructions. The army is home to hundereds, maybe thousands of scronyms, most official and many of the remainder either vulgar, humourous or both. EOD = Explosive Ordnance Disposal (official); Everyday On Duty (unofficial). SISPEC = School of Infantry SPECialists; Suffer In Silence Plus Extra duties and Confinement. Can't think of anymore now..
