'Leges' and Technology

I was contemplating whether or not to post at all today. I went to uni for a lecture and then worked for nearly eight hours. I've had the life drained out of me. I'm a shadow of my former self. But I'll put this up because I have stuff to say.

First off I'm warming more and more to the idea of getting into Law. The law subjects I've done so far have been hard but interesting. I'm doing all the Business Law subjects which require you to learn a heck of a lot of convoluted crap: case law, contract law, terms, acts, court heirachies, famous cases, companies, shareholders, the Corporations Act, directors, secretaries, class rights, replaceable rules etc. etc. etc. If I end up doing the JD (which stands for either Juris Doctor or Jargon Diarrhoea depending on how you feel about the whole thing) I'm sure there'd be more of that. But it's all fascinating stuff regardless and I have a pretty good vnderstandingvs of latinvs phrases so that's good too.

But that's not what I wanted to say. I wanted to bring up little kids and iPhones. At our work Christmas party last year the bosses' kids were playing on their parents' iPhones and they were eerily good at computer games for toddlers. When I was that age the closest thing I had to a toy like that was a ten piece jigsaw puzzle and these kids are beating everyone's high scores in Angry Birds and that game where you cut fruit. Now I keep seeing little kids with iPhones on public transport. I feel old and dumb. I guess that means we're heading into a future in which everyone lives inside computers or something. Those of us who can't score well in Angry Birds will be quickly dispatched in the grand-scale, Tron-like cyberspace gladiator tournaments our future totalitarian rulers require us to take part in.

I'm so glad I have that to look forward to.

Also our cat came home from the vet looking like a walking lamp with that cone thing on his head and off his face on whatever they gave him. He hasn't said a word all night and it looks like his face was stitched together from other cats' faces.
