between watching the social network and the video below, my mind is mildly blown.
the guy in the middle-- whom i'm told is brian gumbel-- is not only somewhat of a sarcastic asshole, but he seemed to think the internet was a phase not worth learning about. and even ms. katie couric was bewildered.
it's just strange. it's like that movie the gods must be crazy when a coca-cola bottle falls out of an airplane and lands in the center of at tribe of bushmen and they have no idea what to do about it.
the world before the internet.
i want to laugh at the news anchors and say, "you're all fools. how could you be so confused by the internet?"-- but now that we've all been online for nearly twenty years, i'm just worried.
there's just something odd about seeing people (who are still alive and young today) reacting like that to something that is so much a part of our every day life now. i'm sure people were not quite as dumbfounded by the television, radio, or car. but even if they were, those inventions grew so slowly most of the folks around to witness the births were well and old before it all became household products. the internet just boomed instantaneously and we never stopped to get used to it.
freaks me out. i'm not gonna lie.
anyway, please vote to help me have my design printed at an online store!
