In the mid 80s I developed software on my Atari 800 computer that selected Random Albums. This was before the iPod. I found that random was better than my choice. I would buy an album (this was before Apple had its music monopoly) and listen to it exclusively. Eventually I would tire of it and buy a new album and repeat. By randomly selecting from my record collection, the software would pick albums that I hadn't listened to in while. After listening I was happy that the software selected it. It occurred to me that Random is Good. Often we get into habits that adding a little randomness to will make it more interesting. You could even break out of slumps or any habits that you have by adding a little randomness to. Randomness is useful if: You can use Listi.net to make lists and randomly select items. |
