Trying to think of what could be useful for Steemit... Well the way I see it Steemit is a stream of consciousness app and most of what streams through my mind is factory work... Since I usually work in a factory.
I just watch the same thing going by over and over on a line all day. In a way this is like a blockchain.
Every thing on the line requires a specific action. Kind of like each node on a chain must take a specific action on a vote or other network decision.
But I process only dead things. The networks also do. They are called coins. The network tries to bring them to life by giving them little programs and values.
Other friends might work at other companies in other lines that connect at some point with the product I am producing. Just like two chains may trade or bind at some point.
I guess the difference is that one is traditional and the other is controlled by a decentralized intelligence.
The intelligence is being expressed by steemit. The energy of ethereal world is condensed into steem dollars and these laugh at the real world leading it to change its ways.
Till then I toil day after day to animate inanimate objects with only the magic of my hands but return from time to time to a work of intellectual energy that is ephemeral and can quickly fade. But a world that sends mementos to remind us of what is possible if only we think.
