No wonder literature and print news papers are dying a not so slow death. Simple indeed. I've been thinking recently about what all these digital wonders are doing for the human spirit. A comedian recently did a fabulous riff about how impatient we have become --can you imagine being frustrated 10 to 15 years ago because you had to wait longer than 20 seconds for something to begin? He recalled an airplane flight that launched a new internet browsing system at every seat that failed to work eliciting scorn from his seat mate--so here is a brand new service never before imagined and he's chapped because it doesn't work right away? I remember a film in 1982 --Koyaanisqatsi --In the Hopi language, the word means 'crazy life, life in turmoil, life out of balance, life disintegrating, a state of life that calls for another way of living --(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koyaanisqatsi). Need to see it again, I remember it as a beautiful experience. Wonder what it would look like if it were produced today?
