I was having a discussion with somebody today about things that I *wished* I would write. I’ve noticed that most of the discourses and knowledge that I share tends to only come out when I have a live audience. During a chat session, for example.
Today we explored some of the ideological paths that some of our modern technology and communities have sprung from. In the past I have discussed, in length, the history of what I describe as the modern ‘movement’ of sharing information and building specialized communities that are not hindered by any form of physical or cultural border.
I generally start the discussion with some sort of bold claim that the global community we have now all sprouted from the actions and ideas that were founded in the sixties. I understand that there were movements before this that lead up to what happened in the sixties, but I believe that a major defining moment of how the world percieves itself occured around this time.
I hope to discuss this in more depth sometime in the near future. I generate some fun quotes when I am having these spouts of lucidness concerning the chaos and overabundance of sensory information we have in our modern times. Please feel free to bug me in real-time chat, whether it be online, over the phone or face to face. I also picked up a copy of Strunk’s Elements of Style so I can improve my writing. I’ve noticed that my command of the English language has been lacking recently.
Here’s to getting back on track with my blog.
