My head is in the cloud
Other than emergency/post apocalyptic/zombies are now attacking scenarios and actual human to human real time conversations, it seems that it is now much more effective to store most of what one knows in the cloud, and instead keep in the level 1 and level 2 caches that knowledge the lets you use the cloud more effectively.
I have noticed that my ability to use google and to filter through the results I find has been far more important than any set of facts I have learned, though the learning of these facts has made me a better google user.
Google/google-like services/the cloud in general have become an extension of the human mind. And access to the cloud is rapidly becoming more intimate and more immediate.
Since I have never believed that the 'self' is anything real and that its instead just an illusion created by our physical, embodied, human form of life and our language/culture, it doesn't bother me at all. There never really was an I doing this thinking anyway, or at least, not so that it was any sacred big thing. I feel just as smart or just as dumb as I have ever felt. Perhaps more so.
