  A comment on Conversation: What kinda music do you listen to? Spotify playlists welcome

  Jan 15 2012: I am young but don't fully enjoy pop that's on the radio but I still like up beat rap and techno/dubstep.
  
  I do feel that my music expresses who I am. I like music that relates to what i do and who I am. I am an ENTJ and I enjoy fast pace music and clever lyrics. Which is just how i like my life to be, constantly changing and witty comebacks.

• A reply on Conversation: If you could have done any other career what would it have been?

  Jan 15 2012: Yes hobby's can be careers and those normally make for the best employees because they actually love what they do. I think you should do things even if your not getting paid, life's not all about making money. lol i like your lack of care for money when your backpacking. You see money for what it really is rather than a treasure everyone wants. Being able to turn your hobby into something that does produce money can be fulfilling though. For instance you could be a guide for people who wish to have someone who knows the land with them when their in the woods. Or for instance if you really enjoy just being in nature you could work for a state park or something like that.

• A comment on Conversation: What is the one invention you wish to be invented soon?

  Jan 11 2012: I wish i could turn my phone into a tv remote.
  
  That way i could surf what was on the cable on my phone or ipod and then select what i want to watch on my phone and my tv it would go to it.
  
  Another handy one would to be able to get notifications on my tv when the commercials were done on one show because often i switch to another show during the commercials because id rather not drill my mind with stupid ads if i don't have to. Most the time i can time it right and come in right when commercials end but every once and a while i miss a bit of the show.

  Jan 11 2012: This is already integrated into many things but i wish voice recognition technology was better.
  
  Siri is cool but it hasn't become fully optimized. I know many people with the 4S that don't even use siri.
  
  I want to be able to come home and tell my computer to turn on and go to my email and then it will. It would make processes move faster in my opinion.
