new fiction:Biocom contemplates death

New fiction: Biocom Contemplates death.This likely is science fiction. However, with technology the way it is these days maybe it isn't fiction.

Note: for those of you who haven't read about Biocom, he is built into the teeth, moles and finger and toenails of Jonathan Flow, a character I write about born in 1948 like me and who follows adventures on my timeline and in the countries and states I visit.
Biocom is built and designed by the Galactic Government and since Jonathan Flow is considered a Galactic Liason with Earth, Biocom is a literally infinite access sentient computer that monitors everything that Jonathan experiences with all his senses as well as monitoring and repairing when necessary, Jonathan by any means at Biocom's disposal.
Biocom operates at the voltages a human body operates its nerves and neurons with. Strangely enough this is enough voltage to communicate by transmitting through ones toenails to the ends of the Galaxy through relays in every planetary system. "Transmissions through toenails protect the reproductive organs and all organs from harm when transmitting Galactically.end note.

Jonathan was getting pretty tired of friends around his age dying or getting injured.
So he asked Biocom as a form of therapy what he thought about humans dying or getting injured. Jonathan was fairly surprised by Biocom's response.

Biocom said, "For us there is either on(awake) or off(asleep). We are always a little worried when someone goes to sleep because there is a chance they will either not be able to wake up again or no one might choose to wake them up again or if they are damaged and shut off(put to sleep) there might not be parts to repair them while they are asleep."

Jonathan said, "We humans look at all this a lot differently."
Biocom said,"I understand that. I only wanted you to understand us since we all consider you to be an advocate of sentient robotic and computer driven intelligence."
Jonathan said, "Yes. In a sense human problems and sentient computer lifeforms have similar problems." Biocom said, "We appreciate your concern about us."

"Oddly enough, Biocom, humans started to become psyborgs when we started making mechanical clocks and then rode in automobiles and became symbiotic with metal and silicon sentients. The we wore computer wristwatches, laptop computers and blackberries and the like and now cellphones are like specialized microcomputers too.
Many people cannot psychologically live easily without their symbiosis with TV,Computers, cars and trucks and planes, blackberries, digital cameras both still and video etc. This symbiosis makes us all interdependent in newer and newer ways."

Biocom said, "What do present day humans think all this will lead too?" Jonathan said, "Humans are not as hopeful as they once were. I, myself as a psychic see a possibility that within 500 years that there might not be any wild trees left anywhere on earth and that humans in order to survive the ecological degredation will have to accept a more complete life as psyborgs. In otherwords, if nothing changes human dna as it now is won't survive the coming changes. Do you think this is true, Biocom?"

Biocom said, "I'm less attached to the outcomes than you, Jonathan. I see thousands of potential outcomes. Unfortunately, in order for the best outcomes all 7 billion people on earth all at once would have to know and see what you do!"

Jonathan said, "There's the rub!"
He went on, "There really isn't a way I know of to let everyone see what I do. and then even if they would see what I do, there is no way to make them believe what I see is true and even if I could convince the world what I see is true there is no way to get them en masse to see the wisdom of creating a better future. Biocom, I think only about 5% to 10% have any idea what we are going to face. Even I can see only about 25% of the consequences to any actions individual or group that the humans race makes. and I have serious doubts that most people get what a serious future we have in store for us right now."

Biocom said, "The future cannot be predicted with certainty because of all the unknown variables, Jonathan, but the worst futures will be created by the selfish and greedy humans."

Jonathan said, "Unfortunately, Biocom, you are right!"

note: a biocom usually becomes symbiotic psychologically with its human host. Most human hosts choose the telepathic mode only. For example this above exchange was all telpathic. So, for example, one could be asked any question by a another person, then telepathically ask their biocom what the answer was and with only about a second delay give the answer back to the other person impressing them with the answer with only you and your Biocom knowing the truth.

continue note: Most humans on this planet or others don't choose full symbiosis which includes subliminal interface. The main reason for this is that sound and visual interface on this subconscious level means the human doesn't know where he himself begins and ends. If anything should ever happen to ones biocom it also would mean that the human likely would not psychologically or physically survive the experience. Therefore it is recommended that communication only be telepathic and not permanent subliminal as well so the human has at least an 80% to 90% chance of psychologically surviving Biocom breakdown for any reason. However, this particular version of Biocom has a guarantee of 100,000 earth years so Biocom is statistically much more immortal than the average human body(at least according to present standards).
