Other Writing Ideas are the Man

So I had a lot of fun writing my narrative and I've been thinking that I might enjoy writing stories, just for fun. I'm not interested in becoming an author like my Mom is, but I still really like writing creative stories. I think it would be really fun to write thrillers or action, instead of just personal narratives. So here are some things that I want to write about.

Idea one: I've heard that when we vocalize our thoughts in our head, we are measuring micro-vibrations created by our larynx. Whether or not this is true, I've never been able to find evidence of. Regardless for my story idea, I'm going to assume that it is possible. I thought it would be really interesting to write a story about a way of measuring those vibrations to, effectively, read somebody's mind. I haven't really decided where exactly to go with that. I've thought about having government develop it, and then use of it leaks and huge ethical issues arise from the population. But making the government the bad guys seems overdone. So maybe I'll go back to making the Russians the bad guys, just kidding.

Idea two: Also somewhere in the future, when children are born they can be electronically wired if the parents want. What that does is allow them to download information directly from the internet. Then everyone who isn't wired, becomes a lower class. I guess I just have to make sure I'm not writing a Gattaca (which I do love. P.S. that picture of it is really cool). I think it would be cool to have characters that had access to endless amounts of information. It would sure take a heck of a lot of research to make any of the dialogue believable though.

So those are two ideas I've been playing with. I probably won't ever do anything with them. But then again, I guess I could... I'm not coming back here next semester after all, so why not?
