It’s Not the Wheel

Amy

The most important invention in your lifetime is…

I’m going to be a rebel. I choose migraine medications, Post It notes, the MRI machine and The Walkman.

Song I thought of while trying to come up with a response to this prompt:

She Blinded Me With Science – Thomas Dolby

It’s poetry in motion

She turned her tender eyes to me

As deep as any ocean

As sweet as any harmony

Mm, but she blinded me with science

She blinded me with science

And failed me in biology, yeah-yeah

Now-uh, huh-huh

When I’m dancing close to her

Blinding me with science, science

Science

I can smell the chemicals

Blinding me with science, science

Science

Science

Mm no, but it’s poetry in motion

And when she turned her eyes to me

As deep as any ocean

As sweet as any harmony

She blinded me with science

She blinded me with science

And failed me in geometry

When she’s dancing next to me

Blinding me with science, science

Science

Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm

I can hear machinery

Blinding me with science, science

Science

Huh, it’s poetry in motion

And now she’s making love to me

The spheres are in commotion

The elements in harmony

She blinded me with science

She blinded me with science

And hit me with technology

Good heavens Miss Sakamoto, you’re beautiful

I, I don’t believe it

There she goes again

She’s tidied up and I can’t find anything

All my tubes and wires

Careful notes

And antiquated notions

But, it’s poetry in motion

And when she turned her eyes to me

As deep as any ocean

As sweet as any harmony

Uh, she’s blinding me with science

She blinded me with science

She blinded me with

    1. I agree, they are very good to have. 😊 But I didn’t want to take this prompt too seriously, and I didn’t want to write about what everyone else is writing about. That’s why I called it humor.🙂

    1. Ha! Beaker is living his best life. OK well… Maybe not his best life, but he’s somehow still alive in the lab. 😂
      Every time I looked at the gifs of him I cracked up. I wanted to use all of them. But I only used one for the featured image and one at the bottom of the post. Proud of myself for not devoting the whole post to Beaker😅

      2. Indeed. Thank you. 🤭
        Maybe tomorrow’s prompt will ask about our favorite scientific advancement. Then of course I will have to reply that it’s Beaker’s and Dr. Bunsen Honeydew’s groundbreaking work. And then, of course it’s all GIFs from there. 🤣

      5. If you click on the “My Site” link in the upper left of your browser, when you get to that page, scroll down a hair and you should see today’s prompt. There’s an arrow to the right, if you click it, it shows the upcoming prompts. I’ve already got tomorrow and Thursday written and scheduled lol

      7. I’m not sure if it’s on the app. Can definitely see it when I’m on PC though.
        I figure if I can knock them out early, why not? 😄
        I already have NTT and SHS scheduled too lol

      15. I try to have fun with them, but make no mistake, yours are fun too! lol
        I am sure I said this before, but sometimes I drop a pic and then the mic because some I truly don’t like 😄

    1. Thanks.
      Whew! Would’ve been embarrassing to have two people say the Walkman. Just kidding.
      I know, I’ve been singing that song all day now. Lol.

  8. I love how you’ve highlighted such a diverse range of inventions, from migraine medications to the Walkman, showcasing how both medical advancements and everyday items have significantly impacted our lives. It’s intriguing to see how these inventions have shaped personal and societal developments in unique ways. Plus, tying in “She Blinded Me With Science” by Thomas Dolby adds a fun, creative element to your reflection on the importance of scientific innovation.

    Given your appreciation for a variety of inventions and the nod to a classic song, do you think the intersection of technology and music has played a pivotal role in how we experience and appreciate music today? How do you see this relationship evolving in the future?

    1. Thanks for your thoughtful comment, Justin. I do think technology and music have played a pivotal role in how he experience music. Without technology advancements, we would still be listening to music on wind-up record players. Not that there’s anything wrong with those, but technology is always advancing, and as it continues to advance, we will see more changes. we’ve already seen changes from the songs and the inventions that I’ve mentioned in this post. The advancements are almost daily. The introduction of AI as it relates to music production concerns me a bit. I want to continue to hear real people sing real lyrics. The prospect of AI generated voices cause me to pause and cringe. Away from the roots of the creative process of music making thanks again for your thoughtful post and thought-provoking queries.
