the Future


I was reading an article in a magazine. It was talking about something to do with something that I don't remember now.
In my boredom, I created a plan for the new decade: I say we (we meaning anything or anyone) make the internet available for ten years at a time, and then outlaw it for another ten years and continue this pattern every decade. And yes, I am very well aware that the internet is allowing me to put this idea "out there".....its still an excellent idea.
At the risk of soap-boxing, I think we (again, we meaning whatever you want it to mean) could benefit from not having constant access to new music. Having a whole world full of music so easily accessed, where we can invest ourselves weekly in a new band, I think has made very fickle fans of many of us, me included.
But I guess we do recieve some benefits from the world wide web. So, in my world (alongside everybody getting a free basset hound and a copy of the Band's first record) the internet would only be available ten years at a time.
