This Message Will Not Self-destruct

 Quote 1: 
“All the good inside us is measured by the good we do for others.”

Quote 2: 
“We all share the same fate, the same future -- the sum of our infinite choices. One such future is built on kindness, trust, and mutual understanding, should we choose to accept it. Driving without question towards a light we cannot see. Not just for those we hold close, but for those we'll never meet.”

Reality is Suspended - Temporarily

Once upon a time, someone mentioned how irritating it is when movies or television shows add sound effects to on-screen computer simulations.  As actors type, or as something new appears on their monitors, these sounds begin to chime, bong, whoosh, ding, beep, and well, all sorts of creative audio signals that apparently are needed to communicate to the audience that the computer was DOING something.

My friend does not find himself alone when mentioning this apparently widespread annoyance. A quote from Mashable prophetically states, 

“There is a reason why our computers don’t make those sounds. Because no one would buy a computer that acts like that.”
