Brief Follow-up
Monday, August 16th, 2010I often realize after a rant that it may seem like I am advocating an active
withdrawal from the scene. While I do think much what Huxely wrote in
Brave New World is scarily apparent today, I do not advocate a
surrender of the space. Instead, I advocate a stronger pursuit of the space.
My pessimism aside, there is still a vast amount of creative opportunity
within technology and digital media. Explore , challenge, create, do whatever you can to make something. Take the
space back or, at the very least, make your small section of it interesting. As for the rest, maybe people will find something that grabs their fancy.
This isn’t about saving the world. I know I stopped wanting to do that years
ago. Now, I am interested in helping those I can. As for the world, well,
I’m just hoping it holds up until we actually learn a bit more.
