OK, so maybe you've heard of this one before

     Like any great idea most people have, a time computer was most likely thought up before, but it isn't really talked about. In high-school I had an idea for an automatic shower; a company called Bodysof makes one, yet it isn't in every household as I imagined such a thing would be so long ago. The idea of a time computer is very similar.

     How cool would it be to have a device that could send information through time and not just space? Picture a desktop PC with multiple hard drive slots, if you could swap a hard drive from one slot to another faster then light you could theoretically send that drive in to the past as long as you know the free slot is there at the time you want to send it back. This idea can be taken further and say if we just send the data from one drive to the next you could send information to yourself before you sent it.

     The inventor of this device would know everything that he would be able to tell himself in the future. If he/she kept the device secret he/she would be the most informed person alive. The ability to have a wire of communication with all of your future and past selves (and being the only one who can do so) brings up a lot of unique ideas and questions. This leads me to believe such a device may have been invented already and no one talks about it because the inventor is killing us all before we can get the word out.

     So I am pretty much starting this blog by risking my life. If I am still alive to continue it I will do so soon, and we will know that the race is still on to invent the time computer.
