1 Chapter 1 - Follow your dreams! (2/2)
This was all well and good in theory but when he actually began he came across 3 major problems. The first of the problems was storage space. To store a video recording of 60 years takes 1.05 exabyte which is 1.05 million terabytes and that is only 1 of the 5 sensory organs. The second problem was energy and heat. The processing of something that could surpass conventional artificial intelligence would not only be a challenge on the systemic level but also functionally as it would require a high power consumption.This would, in turn, create a higher heat discharge. How could a human brain handle being overheated without taking any damage?
Last, but not least was the size. How could something like this be compressed to fit within the confines of the human skull alongside the brain? His current prototype was the size of an actual refrigerator and every time he looked at it and thought about it, it would give him a headache.
Of course, even if he were to solve these problems and create the system. No matter how great the processing could enhance reaction and action time. If the physical body could not keep up with it, it would end up useless. However, this was just a dream at this point how could he ever hope to achieve it. If he were to be seriously asked why he was dabbling in this, he would only be able to reply that he had too much time on his hands.
This was true. He was a bachelor that had only one other passion which he would be satisfied with calling a hobby. Time was a plentiful resource that he could waste. In his opinion as long as a hobby was successful in burning time, without causing any guilt of having done nothing procreative. It would be a successful endeavour. Thus, he poured all of his free time into these two hobbies of his unconditionally.
His other hobby was gaming and it was something he picked up since childhood and he hasn't been able to let go of it since. In fact, you could even say that he has grown even more passionate for it over the years with the advancements in games and the new styles of games that have come out recently. From MMO's, battle royales to survival games. He had played them all. He would never be picky when it came to games. He was truly the best example of a borderline addict.
Coming back to the man in question, after a while of just rolling around on his couch, he recollected himself. Making his way to the kitchen he made himself a simple meal for dinner. He then took it and went to his room before getting started on his research. He spent a few hours on it before getting a few games in with his online buddies and called it a night.
...
1 year and 14 weeks later.
Adam woke up in his bed with a jolt. This was highly unusual for a heavy sleeper like him. He had been living the same routine for the past year, as the years before. And was working the same job with the same timings. Though he complained, it paid well and gave him plenty of free time. However, today was different.
”Yes! Finally, so many hours spent just thinking about the same problem over and over… and now finally… it all makes sense now!” He had an epiphany on his hobby project. His face was flushed and ignoring his grogginess and hygiene he ran straight to his work desk and began working.
He spent the next 10 days working to perfect his system. He had called in sick at his workplace just to finish the software. Finally, completing it a surge of exhaustion hit him and he passed out on his desk. Waking up late in the evening he looked at his clock '18:00'. ”its already so late. What's the date today?” He pulled out his Phone and before he could get to even unlocking it he was barraged by an onslaught of notifications. Sorting through them he came across a few messages from his parents.
”we are coming over tomorrow honey
