Man, that's in depth and....SOBERING!
Today, mass media is a large sucking hole, and "lowest common denominator" really nails it.
Sadly, that's reality, today. But, look at history. Somehow, we all have survived the "death" of blacksmiths, letterpress printing,
big bands, vibes, film cameras and lots more.
The trick is to manage technology, not let it manage you.
