with all this debate on mp3 quality, maybe it's time for a poll to find out what type of speakers we are using to listen to our music. this is just a suggestion:
most of the time i listen to music on:
a) cheap, nasty headphones b) crappy computer speakers designed for gaming c) small portable lo-fi stereo d) home hi-fi e) expensive audiophile gear f) professional studio monitors g) drugs
i suspect the 'drift away' is a direct response to so-called 'advances' in gene manipulation, or privacy invasion, or mass destruction, or advertising.
the scientific community provides the technology, but does not tell us what to do with it. in most cases, science will not tell us whether a new technology is 'good' or 'bad'.
