Default Invention
by Duke Benson
A designer, a creator, a scientist, an engineer
Those are my appellations
I design, I invent
All in my lab
Of all my inventions
There are two
Device 1, codenamed XY
Device 2, codenamed XX
And both have two antennas
XY has two antennas
Y1 and Y2
Y1 is transmission only
Y2, also transmission only
XX has two antennas too
X1 and X2
X1 transmits and receives
X2 transmits only
In my own likeness I made them
With my own knowledge I made them
By default
The devices work on their own
For maximum gain and efficiency
They must work together
But to work together
This algorithm they must follow
XX sync XY
Y1 transmit
X1 receive
It’s simple, not complicated
No matter what anyone says
That’s the way I made them

Writing, as I have come to believe, is the backbone of every invention. In relation to this piece, Mr Benson, how do you think your form of writing fuels such inventive nature of men?
ReplyDeleteSecondly, how does you virtual invention differ from real-life inventions?
invention is the production of usable 'things' through the use of imagination or experiment. writing thought provoking pieces such as the above involves imagining. Thinking of it also requires imagination and may even inspire new thoughts.....
ReplyDeleteFor every situation, there are principles catering for the ideal situation and the real-life situation. of course, ideal situations are mainly surreal, textbook, virtual. writing almost always projects the ideal situation. Hence, what i write/invent(virtually) may usually be very different from real life.
