the Death of Hands

Imagine it's 2786. What do you think the human race, whatever it has become, is using their hands for? I don't think we'll be as dexterous. There will be more machines, and all we'll have to do is fix them, use a hand drill, or push their buttons; neither take much dexterity. They will preserve old manuscripts for the handwriting, not for the content, much like we preserve old stone tablets with words carved into the face. Our use for journals has changed significantly since I kept one when I was single-digits. Remember when we didn't want anyone to read our random thoughts? Now we put it all out there for the world to see, if it ever makes it there...

My last post was written on the day my dog died, well before I knew it. To be so naive again would be bliss. RIP Colby =*
