Chris A Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Came across this commercial while watching the news... Read the following quote from John Philip Sousa regarding the introduction of the phonograph with suspicion, predicting: "a marked deterioration in American music and musical taste, an interruption in the musical development of the country, and a host of other injuries to music in its artistic manifestation, by virtue - or rather by vice, - of the multiplication of the various music-producing machines." taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo-Luddism#Views Maybe he was right: just listen to that which today passes for "music" [] Some very distantly related links on technologies that have the potential to disrupt the status quo, but also induce Luddite-like reactions: http://tech.slashdot.org/story/13/03/10/2045212/seattle-bar-owner-bans-google-glass-in-advance http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2012/08/st_dangerous_solowheel/ and http://solowheel.com/ (refer to the "In the News" video in particular) Chris [H]...[Y] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
