More day dreaming...
Since most monkeys look alike - to us humans anyway - there will be a new social network that will come into existence but called the Faceless. This is expanding on the idea that pretty soon all monkeys will have access to a new ipad.
This network will be developed by a dropout from an African University in the remote corner of Tanzania whose name shall be Dork Suckerberry. He will come out of nowhere and suddenly be the next best thing to Jane Goodall. National Geographic will do endless specials on him and his mission - connecting all simians.. one monkey at a time. No race barrier here - all species of primates are eligible.
Pet companies can spend good money to study monkey behavior and offer deals on well behaved animals to their customers. There can be specials on rowdy monkeys since we anticipate less demand for those. Jackets, helmets and other CPG paraphernalia can be and will be branded for this new form of pet.
'Monkey business' will become a taboo word and shall be struck from human conversation as politically incorrect language. Same goes for phrases like 'quit monkeying around'. We will have to define a new mammal to sacrifice to enrich the English language. Linguists and their brethren will have a good time of it.
Again going back to the Wall Street well being I think this will be seen as a net positive. Electoral campaings will have lobbies fighting for new species to be added and there will be special interest groups jockeying for positions - its a dog eat dog world after all.
Cool cat the Japanese are Tokyo at dusk My second visit to this land of the rising sun after almost a decade. Back then clearly I was wet behind the ears product manager and likely didn’t pay attention to all (efficient) things Japanese. But today I did and of course continue to be impressed. It is as much the obvious stuff like on time travel that is both clean and comfortable and all that which makes it possible. The impressive landmark and landscapes that these humans have put together despite their cramped (or because of it) surroundings and precarious geological conditions could amaze a novice architect among us. But it’s also the little things that someone had to think about which have a phenomenal impact on day to day lives that make the Japanese stand apart. Below are few random examples- 1. Providing a very fine machined wooden toothpick in every packet of wooden chopsticks. The said chapsticks are simply set on the To Go counter of any food vendor/ convenience store wher...
How about if monkeys took over the humans and 'manning' something became a pejorative term?
