IMHO the question is what do we do with all this information? If one cares to look he can find plenty of evidence for all the crimes committed on humanity. Just on Corbettreport.com is enough information available to start at least 20 riots and revolutions. And what happens? Nothing. Cricketts. Silence of the lambs.
Soon we will be connected to the hive with brain implants and can download any information we are given access to. Are we going to be free then? I doubt it.
Yes, revenge porn, on line extortion, blackmail etc.... Ok, I agree with you, we have access to an incredible amount of information and entertainment that we could only dream of in the 70's and 80's. Also realize that all that has to happen to take this away from us, is for someone to pull the plug, so enjoy it while it's available.
This is indeed remarkable how much we can accomplish now sitting in our homes.
The people who've lived through times not so easy would always value this.
We homeschool & the point you're making is one of the reasons why. It's kind of funny, I get these "robo-calls" about student loan forgiveness. I've all but given up on being placed on the do not call list, as this has been going on for years. So these days I hang on just long enough to ask the caller, once again, to place me on the do not call list because I have never, nor will ever, pay any other man for learning when all the information of the world is available for free in my pocket. I just wish I could get my portion of the property theft that goes to fund the local "government" indoctrination camp that our boys will never darken the door of.
I loved my years in the "government" indoctrination camp. My Mom used to use it a way to gain control of me "If you don't behave I won't let you go to school tomorrow!" I would straighten up directly. It had a better effect than threatening to tell my Dad when he got home. However, even at that young age, I looked forward to the day I would be a dad. Whenever someone asked me "What do you want to be when you grow up?" My response " A dad." When pressed for a job I wished to pursue, as was the intent of the question, I would eventually give in & answer "A teacher." But in the back of my mind, I was inferring that it will be my own children I teach. I knew I didn't want my children going to school. Even with my love of learning, I had no intention of sending my children to someone else for an education. So I committed to a habit of self-education, partly to prepare for this role as teacher. My Dad encouraged me by saying "He who educates you controls you. Who do you want in control of your life? Then self-educate." My parents homeschooled me & sent me to the "government" indoctrination camps. I was bullied quite a bit until I stood up for myself, that was the best thing I ever learned at school. Anyhow, the internet was the best thing that ever happened to our family. We can, & do, learn whatever we want, whenever we want...for FREE (or the cost of an internet connection). There's a lot more to this story but, I'll leave it there for now.
No more wax tubes, no more reel to reel. I mean they still exist, but these days the cloud seems to be the place to keep your favorite tunes.
I do miss the tape cases, and cover art, as well as the acknowledgements from inside the fold. What I don't miss is having to rewind or fast forward past the b tracks. I love that I can find the music I love, all be it in a digital format, which my engineer friends assure me is a lower quality.
This is the first of your videos I have seen, I like your style. Very comfortable and warm in front of the camera.
I always get annoyed and aggravated by the internet until I come across a band/a song/a video/a whatever that has almost no views/comments/etc but that really touches me, something I really end up loving, and then I'm reminded that the internet is a wonderful place that connects people all over the world.
I mean, how else can a 27 year old kid on a little island in the west of Europe listen to a Canadian living in Japan sharing his thoughts about life and other things?
I agree that this is an amazing transformation, BUT it can be very confusing. I downloaded some decades-old classical music from the Library of Congress, to use as background music for a free-of-ads YouTube, and when the video was uploaded, I got an "ownership claim" stamped on the music. Apparently this means that ads might appear on the video, with the revenue going to the owner. YouTube – I know – but still, it is so confusing!

Thats is too emotional

It truly is an amazing time to be alive.

That's Interesting. I liked it. Thanks for your share!
