Here we go again.. THE CARCRASH THAT IS AMERICAN HOLLYWOOD CULTURE... take a great idea and make it an easily consumed action flick with funny one-liners. Dumbing down for the masses... I hate this mentality, we live in a skewed world focused on money and it makes me sad. Nothing is sacred... I was afraid as soon as I saw the name "Will Smith" next to "I, Robot"... sad sad sad...
I do something that isn't quite as anti-social, graphic design, and i prefer email over face to face conversation since in some instances when working for bigger corps you dont' necessarily want to meet face to face because you have to play the 'hi we are professional' game and it's too much like rhetoric and some sort of theatre and in the end i rather interace via internet with these folks and keep my friends the one i am with in person. It's just the power of the internet, a great filter, you can bring the culture that is relevant to you close and you can leave the things that aren't in the fringes. Because really I don't relate to the lives of some of the people I work with, especially 'higher ups'. I don't have the american dream of a house and 2.5 kids or a car.. i rather live in a socialist-democracy with non-privatized health-care and less of a obsession with things and monetary gains. Okay.. this is turning into a tangent.. but yeah, keep those close to you in the flesh, keep those alien, far.
