Carte Blanche

Isn't it funny? Sometimes you say you dislike something/someone, for example a brand, a sport or person. Even though you never met that person, or have played that sport.

I told everyone I talked about computers to how Macintosh computers sucked compared to ordinary PC-computers. Even though I never ever had tried a Mac computer.

I think that this "phenomenon" is kind of ordinary in the world, and I keep asking myself why we do this? And I believe the most common answer to the question will be "fear". I believe that we don't want any larger changes in our existing personal environment or system, and that is why we fear that something or someone would fit better in our environment and we are afraid of a large change. We are afraid of the time it will take to adapt to the new environment if we change it. If we keep thinking like this when we're standing in front of a change, the world will never be a better place.


And isn't it funny? Now that I have tried Mac, I will never go back!

Writing for posterity

People have been communicating through writing and drawing since way back in time. Why?

It's a very hard question to answer, but first you have to separate those who get paid to write and those who write as a hobby. I can imagine that people got paid back in the days as well to write different things (laws etc.).

But what about the people who don't get paid to write? I believe that people write because they want to "empty their chests'". Either they don't have any person to discuss their stories with, or else they just want to write it down because it feels better.

I believe that some people like to talk more than they like to write. And then you have people that like to write more than they like to talk. And I think that it has always been that way, and therefore we find different ancient documents with text and/or symbols.


If they would've had the technology to store sound back in time, we probably would've found that sort of findings too.
