Idea Holder

One Hundred Ninety Second Post: Idea Holder

Today our idea holders are electronic. We all have computers and all new consumer technology somehow relates to computers. That fact that the computer holds, stores, and shares our ideas is what makes it appealing to many people. Before the computer the closest thing that stored ideas was some sort of journal. It is still important in its own right at storing ideas and organizing information, but the computer offers something that the journal couldn’t unless it was put into print. The computer not only organizes, helps create, and stores ideas, it can communicate them.

That said, it would still be interesting to find an old journal in an attic and open it up to see what ideas it had. Maybe it has old drawings, pictures of events, or just a log of someone’s past. The fact that it wasn’t stored electronically would add to its value. The reader might find something that is new. They may even find something that isn’t stored on the “idea machines” of the present time.

But until you create something on the “idea machines”.... May the Creative Force and Holiday Spirit be with You
