RE: Changing values into the distance
Taken from your article
It is amazing to think that the Romans, did not make the connection with this 'toy' that they had made, and that it could be used for some other practical purpose.
I read of a tribe (I think it was in south america) who labored in the fields dragging things, while their children played with toys made for them that had wheels.
We have no clue where this block chain tech can go but it sure is fun trying to figure it all out.
I love the guessing game of it and while I am far from genius, who knows what a genius could do with the right vein of thought. I feel that the thing that Steem misses the most is imagination about what the future could hold.
Thanks for taking the time to comment, it seemed very quiet around this post :D
It just takes that spark of inspiration to take us in a different direction. Love this example you mentioned.
Isn't it amazing how we can often miss what is right in front of us. Someday one of us is going to figure out just what kind of 'wheels' we need for steem.
The blogging platforms etc all work fine and the current use cases for steem are still ploughing that particular furrow.
I want to be around when we find those wheels. Tech moves much faster these days thanks to the web and the connectivity of many minds. We will get there.
I believe this and I think that many of the components are already here and somewhat operational, just not being well attended at this point. Children playing.
The first mobile phone I used doesn't seem all that long ago to me, though it is near 3 decades. it is hard to understand this time frame as a 20 year old perhaps as it seems an eternity and going forward takes longer than looking back.
Exactly right.
Sir Isaac Newton.
Imagine the trouble that Newton ran into? 👍😋
The theory held true for a very long time until Einstein tweaked it to include time.
