It was more than 40 years ago, but I still remember my last trip on hallucinogens. It was typical - the walls were melting, everything was sexy and beautiful, the cat was carrying on an interesting chess game; but what I remember most was the realization that it would be another 8 more hours of this boring crap before I got my mind back.
It looks to me like the promise of the "the next thing" in the video is a lot like those hallucinogens; essentially sterile techno brain candy, part of the digital soma for the masses. It will probably be wildly popular, in no small part because it is so extraordinarily distractive. TED talks run wild. And a few of us (assuming I'm still around at the time) will still prefer to look at one another, and the world around us, and draw on that; read old books, and write letters by hand. And have sex with our lovers, not smart phone apps. Cheers; Chris On Fri, Jan 18, 2013 at 4:09 PM, joseph berg <[email protected]> wrote: > http://www.indiegogo.com/The-Next-Thing
