- a lot of stops and starts,
- pauses to sift-through my mind to find the correct word,
- looking up vast blocks of energies (within my mind), in order to figure out what the other person just said, etc.
- TONS of combinations of “insect”, “plant” and “animal” life have been modified or created. Not an “infinite” number but exhaustive enough that “we get it”.
- Even “Humans” have been modified — on purpose or by Natural evolution.
- Every “swear word” has been breathed into this realm that most of the Humans of this “Society” accept them as “something people sometimes say… no big deal”.
- Most every combination of Phonetics have been forged, in order to bring-forth unique “names” and “descriptors of technologies yet to be revealed”. Look at the results in of this through other Languages and the numbers of combinations are near-infinite.
- The parts of the Human outer Unit (the “body”) which “Society” now accepts as being “ok to reveal in public”, no longer has any restrictions. In the 1700s, it was “improper” for a Lady to even show her ankle.
- Men and women with “no hair”, “hair extremely long”, “hair with most any color imaginable”, “hair with multiple colors”, etc.
- There’s more but I’ll stop there.
- In the realm of “Musical Instruments” / “how to make musical sounds”, these days, anything goes.
- I’ve seen Drum manufacturers adopt the percussion Instruments of many other countries and of various Cultures.
- Cymbal manufacturers were left to making their products thicker, thinner, lathing on both sides, lathing on one side, hammering on both sides, hammering and lathing on the same side, etc. They’ve even resorted to putting “holes” of different shapes and sizes in their Cymbals, giving them a more-harsh or “special effects” sound.
- I’ve also seen Drum manufacturers run out of ideas and several of them have “re-introduced” Drums which “they” or “another company” produced back in the 50s or earlier.
- I’ve seen Guitars made out of MANY different types of material. Including “Legos”! I’ve seen acoustic Guitars in various shapes and sizes as well as electronic and even MIDI (digital) Guitars. I even saw someone (maybe a Guitar magazine) ask the question of: “Does a Guitar actually need a body… a sounding chamber?” They then showed a Guitar, which was made-up of nothing more than its neck, strings and electric Pickups. They compared its sound to other “standard” Guitars. So even isolated what I’m saying down to the “Guitar world”… even THEY are examining every possible detail.
- One of the facets that I’ve noticed, more and more, recently, is in the Synthesizer world. Several companies… Enough to catch my attention, have focused on “Wave Table” technology in their Synths. Yes, “Wave Tables” Synths have been around for several years but, lately there’s been a pretty big push to include this by several manufacturers.
- (A typical Synthesizer, or Synthesizer Module, produces “Waves”, such as Sine, Triangle, Square and Sawtooth. Other parts of the Synthesizer modify these sounds in various ways. Sometimes to create smoother sounds. Sometimes to produce harsher, more complex sounds. A “Wave Table” is part of a digital Oscillator. [An “Oscillator” creates sound.] This “Table” is simply a “Grid”… a “Database” of “Waveforms”. Each “Cell” or “Pigeon-hole” in this Database contains a single Waveform. These are typically complex Waves. Each Table, depending on how much Memory the Synthesizer has and how that Database was constructed, may contain 20, 30, 256, 1,000 or any number of Cells. Each with its own Wave. The idea is not only to provide a lot of instantly-available, full-character sounds [Waveforms] but to also allow the User to “Morph” between various Waves. Doing this provides very interesting sounds. Some of them would not be able to be “easily” created without this technology.)
- The reason I’m specifically pointing-out this “Wave Table” technology is because “some say” there is a massive “Wave” coming to Earth, from the Galactic Central Sun. “IF” this is true, even if those “Wave Table” manufacturers don’t know about that aspect of this Universe, they are still, on some Level, picking-up on it and passing it through in their products as a “Sign” for the rest of Humanity… Maybe.

- “Great idea! So the ambulance is trying to get to the heart attack victim’s house, sees the traffic jam on Google Maps and must divert to the next bridge over, arrives ten minutes later, and the victim is dead. It’s a nice little joke and all, ha ha, but here’s hoping it doesn’t become a trend.”
- “a reply to: schuyler
- Your interrogations are valid but I can assure you as a 20+ years of emergency driving that we do not use Google Map traffic display to lay our path, never. You know your sector, the traffic load time wise, the road which will get icy first etc… and use the flashes/sirens to get through. The only impact imho will be on regular users. “
