Something that ends up hurting my brain from dwelling on it too long, is the question, "What would the world be like without.......?" This question can be adapted to anything and while it may seem pointless, considering a world without one thing, can often create others. To imagine a world lacking something that is part of everyday life can almost be beyond imagination. A good example of this is music. Take a second (although be warned, it may be on your mind for a while), to think about your world without music. No music on T.V., adverts, on the bus, on the radio, no mp3's. Its almost unthinkable because although we may not realise it, we hear music for a rough estimate of 60-70% of the day (sleep noted) which is a long time.
Without it, we wouldn't have iPods, CD players, radios etc, as there is no need for them. In many cases we would lack many feelings and emotions that music would bring to us. I'm sure even the cavemen had some form of music which emphasises even more that its been part of human life for a very, long time.
So, i ask dear reader, pick something, could be music, bananas, cars, anything, and imagine the world without it and make an email out of it and send it to themodernfix@googlemail.com and let me know your thoughts. I'l put them all into a post after i receive some to share with everyone. Just try not to hurt yourself doing it.
