The Rudd Labor government is dumping every poicy that it can in the lead up to this year's election. Left right and centre. It has also dumped its Emissions Trading Policy.
So cowardly! It won't standup for anything and it spineless.
There are only a tiny few hand picked quotes in that article. After reading a number of other articles on this it appears that he is really talking about things like Facebook, hoping that new media doesn't dehumanise us;
"the aim of this congress is precisely to recognize faces, and therefore to overcome those collective dynamics that can lead us to lose a sense of the depths people have, to remain on the surface. When this happens those people become bodies without a soul, objects to be exchanged and consumed."
Lets face it, how connected are you really to @joeblow on twitter or your other connections?
If you want to see what some of these young priests are upto online with new Catholic media check out sqpn.com. They even have Catholic podcasts on Star Wars and Lord of the Rings.
These spammers aren't very smart. They send out an email saying unregister from Blue Frog, then in the next sentence they say "by the way we have DDOSed Blue Frog so their site is down". So one can't unregister with Blue Frog even if they wanted to. They haven't given this too much thought what are they trying to achieve? Free publicity for BF?
There seem to be two worlds here - what we can do and what the commercial companies will actually do. Looking idealistically into the future we will have one centralised storage computer and just ways of accessing this data on a TV, PDA etc. But looking at what is really happening for commercial money making reasons is that we are getting even more incompatible machines thrust upon us such as numerous game consoles that are outdated within a few years and then the pc/apple incompatibility issue. Then Microsoft will bring out an OS that needs us all to upgrade our graphics just to view it. The latest games console will be slightly better than the last one but not really necessary and people will buy it and throw out what they already have. Windows are only making Media Centres as it is a new business for them. Do you think if Microsoft were the makers of standalone stereos and DVD players for your TV that they would want to sell you just one Media Centre PC to replace this stand alone hardware and your desktop PC?
So I would love to just have one powerful processor to do all computing/gaming/media as it only makes sense but there is too much money for greedy companies to sell us numerous devices every few years.
They were set to install these things in Australia, with all the housing setup around the streets. Then they realised that computers don't work too well in the rain - not to mention the vandals. So now there are lots of empty PC housings around our streets. Although there are some indoors...
