This
is my first post from my new brain. I got the operation several weeks
ago. The one where they insert a computer in the "dead"
section of a person's brain. I have just came out of the coma and now
learning how to use the system. Not having a keyboard, monitor, and
all that is kinda weird. Accessing the internet from my head is the
greatest thing ever though! I can hit Go Plex or EncycloNet from just
about anywhere. The developers were right. This will improve
information exchange and gathering infinitely. This brain-computer
thing is still in development and I'm just a test, so the doctors
suggest I only spend a limited amount of time on it each day. That,
and I'll be detained in the hospital for a time. Keep reading this
blog for more updates from me!
XOXO,

It
has been a few years now since Phoebe became the first person to be
Psyborg, one who has a computer implanted into their brain. Still,
most people have not undergone the operation. It is not cheap. One
could buy a new house or go on vacation with the money it takes.
Then it is also frightening that surgeons crack one's skull open,
mess around with key nerves that connect the brain to the rest of the
body, and then staple everything closed. Sources online say that less
than or about nine percent of the world's population are Psyborgs
now. Mostly younger folk that are “crazy.”
My
parents are rich, so that is how I was able to afford the operation.
Otherwise, I work at Blue Box in Roseville as a Nerd Herd technician
fixing peoples' old computers, tablets, and things. I work in the
back room since I prefer to work by plugging myself in directly. I
find it easier to locate the problem when all the data is in my head.
Most people still find it highly disturbing that humans can directly
plug themselves into machines via usb cords. It looks like the old
sci-fi movies where they have aliens or whatever all wired up in a
giant test-tube. Ports typically are located at the base of the
skull, right about where the hairline is so it is easy to cover it up
if one so desires. That is where mine is. Though I show it off. Even
though I'm a girl, I keep my blonde hair super short in a pixie cut.
This
job takes care of living expenses and the rent of the mediocre
apartment in Saint Paul. For all its “charms” I do love my
apartment. It is no where near as nice as my parents' mini-mansion
over in Eden Prarie. It's got the basics; one bed, one bath, kitchen
and a room. It is not a living room or a den. More like, a large
space where I have put my telly, a couch, and clothes that should
someday migrate to the hamper. Or so I keep hoping.
My
pride and joy is my custom built computer. Sure I'm a Psyb, but you
can not play video games in your mind yet. Some developers have made
some crude games. The best one right now is a reboot of a building
game that was super popular back in 2010 or so. I am huge into the
massively mutliplayer online game, Eden Lost. It's the biggest
MMO right now and has won many awards. My closest friends play it
with me. My gamename is AtomicApoc. It was supposed to be
AtomicApocalypse, but that many characters is not allowed and then
some nub took Apocalypse. Enough talking about the game though. I'm
going to log in and play.
