FUN FACT

Mind Hive is a word switch of hive mind. From Grammarist, “The term hive mind seems to have originally been coined by science fiction writer James H. Schmitz in his short story, Second Night of Summer. His idea of the hive mind correlates to the way a colony of bees behaves as if it were directed by a single intelligence.” Its concept can be understood as having a unified consciousness or unified intelligence. Hive mind is seen in a negative light mostly, though there are recent works in sci-fi painting it in neutral or positive light. The reason for the word switch of “hive mind” and making the theme name as “mind hive” is to somehow debunk that there must only be one “queen” or one leader making the decision for the hive. “Mind hive” as a theme tries to combine the concept of unified consciousness and unified intelligence while proposing that there can also be more than just one source of consciousness or intelligence in a hive. This can be applied with the concept of open source apps and systems in computer science because there is a forming of a unified consciousness or intelligence from different ideas being gathered by thousands of developers all around the world.
