beyond encyclopædia

I sin­cere­ly miss the days of the en­cy­clopæ­dia

I am able to feel in­cred­i­ble grat­i­tude to the uni­verse for let­ting me be alive be­fore the in­san­i­ty of the In­ter­net ex­plod­ed out in a bil­lion dif­fer­ent directions

I re­mem­ber bury­ing my face in about 50 dif­fer­ent en­cy­clopæ­dias when work­ing on projects for el­e­men­tary school
And get­ting com­plete­ly en­thralled by every oth­er sub­ject than the one I should have been re­search­ing the most at that time 

I had phys­i­cal vol­umes of vary­ing pub­lished years full of any­thing and every­thing the writ­ten and ex­posed parts the world had to offer

I re­mem­ber learn­ing about his­tor­i­cal­ly sig­nif­i­cant peo­ple and of vary­ing de­vices of man­u­al technology

I re­flect often
on this era of so­cial media
And the im­mense num­ber of peo­ple pre­sent­ed on the In­ter­net to­day is staggering 

It’s not what we’re used to as such a young species
We were more in­ter­est­ed in learn­ing and pro­gress­ing and hear­ing sto­ries and ex­plor­ing oth­er cul­tures and of the dif­fer­ent ma­te­ri­als and tools be­ing made

And we did progress

evolve

And then we pro­gressed an in­fi­nite amount of times quick­er than ever be­fore due to the cre­ation of ad­vanced technology

We are grow­ing our ex­te­ri­or forces and forces of thought
And yet our bi­o­log­i­cal bod­ies are still large­ly sub­ject to decay

How well
              I won­der
can our brains func­tion dur­ing this in­fi­nite ex­panse of so­cial media

in­ter­ac­tion

And how soon
un­til we reach the point
where our con­scious mind
can exist
outside
of our bio-matter? 

It is a seem­ing­ly nat­ur­al evo­lu­tion to have cre­at­ed the next step in our humanity
to as­cend nat­ur­al entropy

New­ton’s Sec­ond Law of Thermodynamics

And com­bine with our own en­hanced cre­ation of dig­i­tal technology

Met­al will still rust and decay
Plas­tics will slow­ly but sure­ly break down un­der the im­mense heat from our plan­et when it fi­nal­ly re­news it­self and be­comes molten
even­tu­al­ly burn­ing down and then cool­ing down
into a frozen rock 

once again
