Some very good and thought-provoking responses. I have to say that validating online audio shows using porn as an analogy was very unexpected, and effective. I agree that if I can’t make it to an audio show it’d still be interesting to glean what I can thru some high-quality digital reproductions — better than nothing, right? As always, MC’s sarcasm sprinkled with insight is appreciated. I do hope we find a way forward where all the digital convenience can coexist and enhance the overall human experience, but maybe, and as with many new things in life, we need to over pursue in a new direction first to find the ultimate balance. I sure hope that’s the case here.
The extinction of human interaction takes yet another step forward...
I hate even thinking this, but as we “progress” in “society” it sure seems like each step “forward” brings us closer and closer to becoming the “Borg” from Star Trek where everything happens in your head and personal interaction becomes less necessary and thus more foreign. I hope this stops or at least slows down at some point and the value of human interaction surfaces as something we want to preserve. I find it sad, however, that this seems more of a hope than an eventuality the way things are going everywhere — even in audio. Ugh. Thoughts?
