Sad, but true, Graham.

But sad.

Physical users groups gave way to forums, to social media. Post a bad photo rather than a profound reply to friends.

Tech has become a consumptive device for far too many. Yeah, mobile devices, mostly phones. More than 50% of phone users text. A very small percentage of owners use the phone to make and receive calls. Our nephew felt email was too slow and too much of a hassle, so he didn't replay to us when Barbara's dad was too old to drive and the car plates needed turning in.

He also didn't see the purpose in owning a workstation. So I showed him how I create animations and he told me he could see all the animations he wants on YouTube.

He's 23, BTW.


Okay, it's lamentable, in the literal sense of the word. It's not a pity, it's not a shame, it really doesn't affect me that no one will download free stuff crafted by real artists on TG.

I can't fight the entirety of our culture.

Not until someone is really, deeply hurt when someone tells them they aren't curious enough, and lack imagination.
