The World has a Clearer "Ring" to it Now...

Ahhh, new guitar strings. I feel so much better now. It was actually slightly distracting when I tried playing with brand new strings, I could barely recognize my guitar's sound. I haven't had new strings since...ummm, let me think, its been so long...I want to say June. Yeah, June sounds right. It is such an incredible feeling, having those steel wires reverberate and the whole world sounds so much cleaner, so much crisper. I have been looking forward to this day for about a week now, and now that I have new strings, I feel new. Cheesy, yes, I know, but it is absolutely true. I sound so much better too, and now, as I am sitting here trying to do my homework, I want to just go play for about an hour. Or two. Or maybe even all night. I am incredibly distracted and haven't felt this want--no, it's more of a NEED--to play in so long.

I am going to be completely random now, but what else is new. I just thought I should warn you first, so you don't think I have lost my ENTIRE mind...heehee.

Kakos posted this amazing video to our class blog. I mean, WOW. Here is my comment to it, and I suggest that you all make time (8 minutes, you should have that much time) to watch it. I want to hear what you guys all think. The site is : http://robinsloan.com/epic/

WOW. Am I the only one who thought that that was cool beyond all belief? But then I noticed a problem that relates directly to me. If this were to happen, I would have no future. I really want to go into the journalism profession, and if this were to happen, there would be NO journalism. I also found it incredibly scarey about "Googlezon" creating a personalized story for each user, and the fact that the Supreme Court would rule in favor of it. How could the world function as a whole if each individual got different information? I realize that this is actually a case today, but it is not to this HUGE extent.

Also, what do you think the government would think about this? They actively censor information that is released to civilians. Did you know that the BBC releases international news before we even hear about it in the US? That's because our goverment evaluates the story and only lets us hear what they really want us to. If each person could share information globally, how could anyone keep track of the truth anymore? Each person would put their own spin on an event, causing mass chaos. If this were to really happen, all communications would break down and we would be socially set back many years. It would probably cause the break down of the world's communications infrastructure.

Or maybe I am just being a conspiracy theorist. But I know we are safe to say that it would just be downright BAD.
