first we have phones that hold all the media (audio or visual) you will ever be capable of ingesting in a lifetime...palm pilots that hold all the books you will EVER have time to read...and now this...

Technology is starting to be more and more scary...

let's meet Milo

Ever seen who's afraid of Virginia Wolfe? Okay...imagine the social rammifications of this. In Japan they are already setting up text dating services that are automized by computers, on-line porn has become a legitamite addiction, facebook and myspace are so prolific most of my college instructors have pages...

And people don't go out...human connection, however superficial and impossible as it is anyway in the existential sense, has now become contorted into something completely strange.
we are so conflicted about this stuff, and so without identity that we throwback to adopting truly primitive rites and adournments in order to try to find something real...but the lines are blurring, friends.

Tetsuo the Iron Man stuff...way crazy...


Time to get that farm and get off the grid. Who wants to go in on creating a commune?

I got negged repped for this...

What the hell.

All's I'm saying is that...we're supersaturated with media, and the lines between reality and virtual reality have already been obscured (when highschool and college kids do nothing but chat over the internet on their myspace and facebook things instead of developing real social skills and involving themselves in human interaction, yeah, that is virtual reality), and are about to get horribly out of control (that Milo thing gave me the creeps).

No need to feel creeped-out - Milo is just Sensei Saki with face recognition software.

On second thought, that is pretty creepy.

face recognition = Orwellian nightmare.

Are we allowed to marry cousins in this farmland utopia? Can we keep electricity, or are we going all out Amish?

You must be a scholar because you are too young to remember George Orwell.
