Err, not the place really to debate this, but it depends on the technology. Technology is a tool. You can't point to a particular technology, that's the whole point an _individual_ technology was not referred to..instead the generic word "technology" was bandied about without framing it...by framing it i mean narrowing the context in which it was used so it left the audience member with the message "technology is good" I think (without having been there) that the Submerge panel were talking about technologies -- like the Internet and music software -- that has been enabling for musicians ... again it wasn't extracted like that...the rise of the internet and computer use is very much linked with the increase of what we refer to now as globalization I'd like to hear more specific instances of where you thought the panelists were 'pro-technology' in a way that conflicts with your concern (which I share) with globalization. I have a hard time thinking Juan Atkins was singing the praises of genetically modified food crops and The Gap. i don't think any of them _consciously_ did....i just think it is very easy for us as people living in developed countries to spend our lives thinking of the positive aspects of the various technologies w/o having to think about the negative global aspects that is all i was trying to say..if in an ADD fit i didn't communicate that well then it wouldn't be the first (or last) kathleen -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ . --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
