I think it's final, we have just about live in a Fahrenheit 451 world. Music wise things are bad it went from LP's to 8-Tracks to Tapes to CD's to Mp3's. cartoons have changed from being 2D like they always have been to 3D, thanks to Pixar. I don't know but I'm sick of this Digital Revolution/Infomation Age. It's like a information overload.
".. welcome back my friend to the show that never ends, come inside, come inside. come in side, the show's about to start, guar an teed, to blow your head a part ..." i think if you look at what's being done in the mainstream, well pixar didn't invent 3d, although they have a reputation, that they work at, of being damd good at the tecnical side of it. ted sturgeon sagely observed that 9/10ths of everything is crap. my personal corrilary is that the remaining 10% does it's damdest to make up for it. but you WON'T hear it on clearchanel or see it on disney/tribune/... most of what's screwed up is bacause of the politics and that in turn because people keep denying that their priorities are what add togather to create the incentives that move politicians by creating markets for the products of industry. i think it's pretty hard to blame the midi interface for the war in iraq, but the automobile on the other hand, you see, now we're getting into something real that people don't want to admit, because it involves themselves to some degree, instead of just being able to scapegoat someone else. =^^= .../\... in all honesty and fairness, is it "tecnology" that has twisted so many arms to become emotionaly attatched to the idea of driving an automobile? or is it politics, idiology, and popular culture? =^^= .../\...
The music of today sucks a lot. Besides the punk that is still grasping on, Emo, Rap, and that lame whiney 'Rock' music that sings about their girlfriend leaving them and about how hard their life is. A 20yo white male singing about how hard life is is quite an oxymoron IMO.
well i wish the old ways would re-surface. people need to realize that too much technology can make us all sick and diseased, lol.
ive always wished i lived in the 60's/70's because of the way things used to be. music, deugs, life in general looked so good.
if humanity fails to survive the end of the petrolium era, it will be because and only because, of an adamant lack of willingness to shaire resources equitably. =^^= .../\...
lol too. that might not solve it, but that was certainly a mellower culture then all this going arround making war on everybody and everything. i mean, i don't think i'd want to go arround being stoned all the time (and for what it's worth, i did live for a time (77-79) in a place where most of the people there more or less did), but i could sure live with everything falling appart on its own, a hell of a lot easier and happier, even with occasional hunger pangs, then with everything being deliberately destroyed, the way the world junta in d.c. seems to be hell bent on doing. and in response to crud3w4re: unlike most americans i don't own or indenture myself to an automobile, let alone a damd suv. the only energy my household does consume is to run this computer, the refrigerator, and to heat, light, and cook. so my share of the excess most americans consume is more then welcome to be enjoyed by everyone else to their hearts content. =^^= .../\...
Good.Cars suck either way - Well, not just for the environment, but it makes people lazy, and some people never walk .. err besides the distance it takes to get to their car. Not good.
i hate seeing multitudes of suvs. seems like that's all you see. 60% of vehicles are suvs. 20% of them are trucks. 10% are small cars. 10% are granny vans. vehicular life sucks. we need to learn to fly. fly like the birds. and where really cool flying suits.
technology is made the scapegoat to hide from the fact that WE were and are responsible for its abuse. my point is: as technological development made its boom, we forgot what we must also rely on; social development and spiritual enlightenment. therein we lost all our balance. we could have created a different, harmonious planet. we could have donated the beautiful products of our mind, thus technology, back to Gaia from whom we have been born.
Well, I still play my original in mint condtion, NINTENDO!!! I have never played on a playstation or game cube or any other of the hundreds they have now. I LOVE my nintendo. I agree, our society is growing too damn quick. Pretty soon, there will be nothing to invent anymore. But didnt they say that 100 yrs ago. Oh well
The problem with technology is that people always want more. And when they've got more, they want even more again, again and again. The supply creates the demand. Nobody needs it, but people buy it, cause it's available and ''cool''. And in the meanwhile there's still walk.
