So, here we are, another day, another blogger.
It's a brave new world out there and things are moving on at lightning pace towards the 'new eutopia' of the techno-age where we sit at our desks living our lives through IM services, saving money through Ebay/Amazon and the like and being regailed by the latest 'hot-picks' auto-downloaded by the music industry direct to the MP3 device of our choice.
Or so the media and the marketing departments would have us believe. There is, however, still a world going on outside and despite what the children might think, it's a reasonably fun one to get out and about in.
I know it's not the same as it was years ago when we all left our doors open and knew our neighbour's family history, pubs were places for old men, the Roxy was the centre of the universe and comunication started with finding a pen and paper not switching on the laptop.
If you're sat there agreeing with all that crap, then best you toddle off to bed, you're already past the point of no return! Even I, an ageing Hippy have embraced the world of technology in the hope that one day sense will prevail and unity amongst man will be helped along by the power or the web. Everyone has a view, and now we can all air them to the world for all to debate.
There was a point I saw the 'web as some kind of monster, skulking in the wings awaiting its chance to pounce, devouring us in its unending tide of filth, corruption and greed. And I was right, all this is there within, but that doesn't mean it's all there is and it's not hard to stay away from the darker side of the evil bastards ripping off the innocents.
Embrace the future, for only in the joining in can any difference be made by the individual. The tune has been written, the melody's being played, please join in, create a rythm with which to woo the world and steer the tune of our future by the standards of the past.
Peace and love to all.
Steve.
