Sorry for typing it out but I can not post hyperlinks yet. Some of these apps may or may not work on your device. I will look more and if I find something relevant will send it on to you.

I find this absolutely fascinating and you can't tell me that in 1947 the aliens did not land in Roswell. I think that's where we got all this stuff from. It's all being studied in Area 51 an really? Talking responsive browsers? Do you think WE came up with this?? lol

I don't know that I understand all those Siri and iris and which one I could put on my tablets. I'm still trying to understand how they would work.

I am a work in progress and I'm only 64 going to be 65 soon AND ONLY JUST BEGINNING!!!

Not sure about Kindle , but my smart phone came with the Google voice installed already. pretty neat.

Does your kindle have any pre installed apps that say voice something?
Oh, It would also have to have a microphone on it somewhere, does it have one of those?

It is an awful lot of space for one species. To think we just canceled a huge portion of NASA. On the other hand I was working with 486 architecture computers in 81. The military has the best stuff. Typically there is a twenty to thirty year window that tech exists and the public knows nothing about it.
So who knows whats out there?

Since the internet has actually been around for almost 40 years (but we didn't have access yet), and now we have tablets, smartphones, wi fi, etc. etc, one can only surmise that indeed, in the foreseeable future, we shall travel NOT BY PLANE, but by Transporters, a la Star Trek.

Now me? I would be like Bones from that show. I wouldn't want my atoms spread around and then reassembled elsewhere.

I might wind up with my boobs on my rear end and vice versa!!!

With the concept of string theory there are those who would argue space no longer matters. The argument is that every thing is connected to every other thing. If that were true one would only need to alter ones energy level to match that of another point in space. It would no longer be capable to exist in the one but you would have to exist in the other. No matter the distance you would go to that point. Instantaneous there would not even be any concept of time passage.

Or warp speed. Think of that as traveling on the edge of a event horizon of a black hole where time and space are distorted and multiples of faster than light speed is possible. Like surfing a wave.

I wish I had YOUR brain!!

Maybe not, I can no longer connect the complicated principles of what I did for work. I can still draw on long term memory but trying to communicate my thoughts is frequently like extracting something form quicksand.

Ah, but you still have your soul, and THAT's where it's all at!!

At least this is what I believe.

Lots of good energy coming from you.

And I'm sending my own your way.

Take care and thanks so much for all the good info.

I believe we have a soul. That the soul is a facet of ourselves. The physical being we see and touch is a poor expression of a more eloquent existence. If we are immortal and our time here is short. Then there is truely nothing here to fear but what our minds fool us into believing.

Funny even though I believe this I find the practice of it much more difficult.

Well.....my husband (who is jewish but believes in Jesus (I guess that makes him a Messianic Jew, right), he believes that ALL his pain,suffering and neuropath, etc, is a punishment that he has to endure right now is due to past negative behaviors on his part, so when his time comes, he will enjoy the spiritual rewards in the afterlife. This gets him through his day.

Me??? I believe in Genetics, dominant genes, recessive genes, genes that mutate, genes that are triggered by external forces (be it smoking, second hand, third hand, alcohol, the atmosphere, the radiation from too much exposure to the sun, BLAH BLAH, ad infinitum.

And this from a Catholic School girl who was educated by the nuns in both primary and high school and from priests who sat in front of my class telling us that "YOU ARE NOT NECESSARY". Because if you were necessary, that would mean, that God needs you, and he would be imperfect and he's not imperfect."

Isn't it odd, the stuff we remember from grade school.

Imagine a 13 year old girl being told she was not necessary.

I believe we should all have empathy, be kind to each other, be good to each other and help each other whenever we can.

That way we give off GOOD energy and we absorb GOOD energy.

Don't mean to bash any religious beliefs. To me, this is plain old common sense.

Do unto others, etc. etc.

And yes indeed, I do pray every single night before going to sleep. Makes me feel good.

And now we an go back to discussing external speakers. Oh, I don't know if I mentioned this one one of these postings, but I bought a charming orange little external speaker from Walgreens. Called SPLASH. It's exactly like the Music Bullet that they sell in As Seen On TV.

I unplugged my headphones, plugged this little orange wonder into the headphone jack of my PC and WOW, the sound was awesome.

So if my headphones ever go, and i need a speaker until I buy new headphones (Alan is going deaf so he needs headpones), well I have this little orange wonder. lol
