Today's #Scifi #fantasy #blog short story: #ThePsychic-SocialNetwork

       Well, I finished this story pretty quickly and early in the day so I don't have much to talk about as to what happened today as nothing has happened, though I only had one seizure so far today so that's a good sign that I won't have many the rest of today. Also finishing early means I'll lots of time to work on my book so that's good yay! Anyway, onto the story!

The Psychic-Social Network

         “Hello!” A man wearing trendy clothes said from the start of a tv commercial. Millions of people had already seen this man's face as this commercial had been aired during hundreds of different tv shows and on tons of additional websites. He had even been shown during the one hundredth super bowl. “In this age of psychic technology, where everyone has cybernetic communication implants in their head, you can't ignore the potential of this technology.” The man then turned to a woman next to him in the commercial, “Now tell me, how do you usually share psychically share a thought with a friend?”

        The woman then responded, “Well I think of that person, then the thought, then it transfers.”

        “And isn't that such a bother?” he said to her. “Well me and my friends at The Psychic-Social Network have come up with the perfect psychic social networking tool. What you do is sign up for our service. And once you have an account you can choose to connect to other people to send or receive thoughts from them automatically without thinking about it. All you have to do is use our site to register them. You can do hundreds or even thousands of people.Celebrities are also on our service so you can know what they're thinking. Of course there are filters so you can choose what kind of thoughts you send and receive in regards to which kinds of people. In fact I just got a thought right now from famous actor,” the host of the commercial paused to put as much emphasis as possible on the licensed cameo name, “JACOB SMITHSON WOODS” he then took another pause to let the popular name sink into the audience's brain, “About how excited he was about his next upcoming movie 'Attack of the Killer Tanks From Space'. And if you sign up for our service today you'll probably be able to psychically link up to him and receive some of his thoughts.”

       That was true that on the service you could sign up and receive his thoughts. Though he largely filtered most of them so that his 'fans' would mostly just get absurdly vague things or happy, mundane things about how happy he was about the weather. If all of his thought filters were down then the fans signed up for the service would get his depressed thoughts about his drug problem that was currently hidden from the media.

       “Is there more?” the woman asked the host.

       The host smiled, “Yes! On our website each user gets their own customizable Memory Page! Here they can upload their picture and their memories straight from their brain to keep and share with everyone they want to! They can choose specific people, certain categories of people or just keep it to themselves. Oh and of course,” the host paused, “JACOB SMITHSON WOODS, has his own memory page where he put tons of memories for everyone who signs up for the service to see. All someone has to do to experience a memory from that persons perspective is to go sign into our service then click on it and it will download straight into their brain. It's so simple.”

       “So sign up today!” the woman in the ad said as the website url appeared at the bottom of the television screen.
