Defragment My Brain?
Sometimes, maybe on a Saturday morning, I feel like I’ve lost a few brain cells. It might be consumption of vast quantities of Belgian lager, but I think I need to invest in some online backup facilities in order to stop the data leakage.
Is it possible? It should be. It’s the great ideas that I keep having that I’m worried about losing. I guess I could just write them down on a note pad, but wouldn’t it just be easier to download your mind onto some kind of storage device? If you could carry around your entire life’s memories on a USB stick, I’d be totally up for that, just in case you lose your marbles.
While I’m writing this I am listening to ‘Always On My Mind’ by the Pet Shop Boys, which is quite appropriate really – although adding the word ‘Not’ to the title would perhaps be more appropriate. If you could delete certain bits of your mind data that would be cool too. But I guess the little ones and zeros in our own mind tend to change – or even get corrupted over time, unlike a safely stored piece of online data. I think I need to defragment my brain. Could we do that? Coz that would be really cool.
