How much are you worth?
Around the New Year, I find it easy to be reminded of your imperfections, flaws, and room for improvement. However, I thought I would take a couple of minutes and remind you how awesome you already are.
Estimated Value = Priceless
On a scale of 1 to 10, you get a 10. Grade A+. Condition = Super Fine. You are one-of-a-kind, extremely rare, artisan, organic, and historical significant. You have intrinsic value, popularity value, sentimental value, and a great re-sale value. You are amazing! Don’t believe me? How amazing?
The Price is Right
OK, Price is Right style guessing…
How much would this supercomputer be worth?
Imagine what you would value this supercomputer. It has over 100 Terabytes of long-term storage, about 1 TB of RAM, and works 100 times faster than any computer available, because it can compute multiple inputs at the same time. But, that is not even the best part…
This computer can run for 80-100 years. It runs only 1.5 Volts of electricity, which comes from an internal chemical battery. It is complete wireless, waterproof, and you can take it anywhere. It can work at the South Pole or in the Sahara Desert. It has a soft, flexible outer shell and internal, hard frame to keep everything in place. But, that’s not all…
It comes with two HD video cameras which means it can record in 3D, see around walls, and track movement. It has two microphones to record in high fidelity stereo surround sound, one really cool speaker, and many other inputs to measure temperature, humidity, smells, and virtually anything you can dream up. But, that is still not the coolest part…
This computer is self-grooming, self-healing, self-aware, and self-regulated. It fights off viruses and physical attacks, will alert you if it’s in danger, heal and repair itself, and it will even learn from it’s mistakes. In fact, sometimes if you push it too hard, try to kill it, or otherwise damage it, the computer will most likely just become stronger. They can even sync up with another supercomputer and create new supercomputers. But wait, there’s more…
Each of these supercomputers are unique. Because they are designed to be one-of-a-kind and the adapt to their surroundings, each one is a brilliant masterpiece and specialist in some form. Some heal other computers, some can do extreme physical labor, and others are smarter and faster. Some have a great sense of humor and can make you laugh all day long. Others are super sensitive and can pick up on messages that you didn’t even know you were sending. Some are extremely accurate in their work, and others are creative and artistic. Some are risk-takers, daring, and can lead other supercomputers to become even better versions. They continually learn and build upon themselves for their entire lifespan.
The best part, I think, is that there are billions of these amazing supercomputers, and they can work together to accomplish virtually any task. To me, the possibilities are endless and the value is priceless.
