This blog talks about the way I see some of the more serious and lighter issues that we face in the world. As the founder and CEO of "Free Your Mind Publishing" (www.freeyourmindpublishing.com), my goal is to share my voice with the world and create a space where others can share their voice. My two mottos are: "We are only as humane as our most inhumane soul" and "Think before you speak. Write before you fight." Let's talk, and let's heal!

My friend and I were recently discussing about the ubiquitousness of technology in our daily lives. Reading this post makes me think back to that debate we had, and just how inseparable from electronics we have all become.
I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Ethical concerns aside... I just hope that as the price of memory decreases, the possibility of copying our memories onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's a fantasy that I dream about all the time.
