Why do we love computers so much? Because it feels powerful to live in a world of your own creation, a world where your command dominates. It's almost like we are too hurt to risk trying to connect in person anymore. (Emo.)
We like the safe distance. And we like the fact that we can control who we are willing to interact with.
It's so safe. And it's fun. And it's useful. But it's also terribly...weird.
And I wonder sometimes what someone from the distant past would think of our music if they somehow landed in this time period. And why do I have the sinking feeling that they'd say it reminded them of the snarls of a cat in heat.
