bump, for your thoughts

some of you know what bump is. for those who don't, you can basically bump two iphones together to transmit/share a variety of media including contacts (i.e. business card or someone elses), photos, music, and so on.

a lot of times, verbal and written communication generally doesn't cut it for me, so sometimes, i just create awkward pauses. i have difficulty conveying my thoughts because most of them just can't be conveyed into words and my mind is reeling with countless thoughts colliding with each other in creative and absurd ways. they are spatial arrangements, complex algorithms, and other inanimate formations for which there aren't words to describe. think of our verbal simplification of complex feelings and emotions. we've managed to dumb down nerve signals to "ouch!" for mild instant pain, and "(insert expletive) this hurts like hell!" for greater continual nerve transduction, "i love you" to sum up a gamut of emotions and chemical reactions, and a hodgepodge of colorful words to sum up anger, frustration, irritation, and hate.

my point being, i don't even have the luxury of a term or an arrangement of terms that sums up my thoughts and thought processes at times beyond "complex." so it would be terrific if someone invented bump for thoughts. bump your foreheads together to transmit thoughts, emotions, etc. if that's too primitive for you, maybe we can just develop esp helmets. and then we can finally have an interface for my download crap to your brain software so that i can learn astrophysics and russian while i sleep.

also, while on this train of thought, someone needs to start fictitious technologies, inc. to develop all the tech we read about and see in movies. because i know j.k. rowling had something close to 'bump, for thoughts' and god knows what we can accomplish with a bloody flux capacitor! anyway, i'm sure star trek is a fairly good place to start if you're up for the challenge.
