	♥ 10:37pm timurf: ugh where is the video feed
	🎸 ♥ 10:37pm PaulRobeson1925: ↳ PaulRobeson1925 @10:02 The most obvious question to be asked about any new tech-nology-for example, interactive television, virtual reality, the Internet, or, for that matter, doorknobs and toasters that "under-stand" human speech—is, What is the problem to which this technology is the solution? This question needs to be asked because there are technologies that are employed-indeed, invented-to solve problems that no normal person would regard as significant. Of course, any technology can be marketed to create an illusion of significance, but an intelligent, aware person need not believe it. There are those in high places and with easy access to our collective ear who, in speaking of the information superhighway, stress that it will make possible five hundred or a thousand television stations. Are we not, then, obliged to ask, Is this a problem that most of us yearn to have solved; indeed, need to have solved? Do we believe that having access to forty or fifty stations, as we now do, is inad-equate, that they are not sufficient to provide the information and amusement we require? Or let us take as another example talking to doorknobs so that they turn at the sound of our voice. What problem is solved here? Is it that turning a doorknob is a burden? Is it a question of making doorknobs less vulnerable to burglars? Is it simply a matter of celebrating our own technological genius?
	10:38pm ?: are you destroying your studio?
	10:39pm Frou Frou: evan dando and juliana hatfield had a room in their house full of vases and glass objects and when they were angry they would smash them with hammers
	♥ 10:39pm Eric the Hat: ↳ paddy in matawan @10:37 Take it out to the swamps over by Secaucus
	♥ 10:40pm paddy in matawan: ↳ Eric the Hat @10:39 too soft out there
	🎸 ♥ 10:40pm tom tom the pipers son: steam roller
	🎸 ♥ 10:40pm PaulRobeson1925: …dreams of a technology that would make obsolete the task of locating and then sending recordings into action. One approaches the machinery and speaks the words "Frank Sinatra" or "Pavarotti" or, if you can imagine it, "The Spice Girls," and we hear them. May one ask, What is the problem solved by this? The answer, I am told, is speed. We are a people who measure our lives in seconds. Five seconds saved here, five seconds there, and at the end of the day, we have perhaps saved a minute. By year's end, we have saved over five hours. At death's door, we may allow ourselves a smile by gasping that we saved a month and a half, and no one will ask, But for what? NYC’s own son Neil Postman, babyy
	♥ 10:40pm Eric the Hat: ↳ paddy in matawan @10:40 Hahaha. Grab a cinder block on the way
	🎸 ♥ 10:41pm Ken From Hyde Park: Lay it on a cinder block and then mush it with a second cinder block.

	♥ 10:43pm Eric the Hat: We can’t tell if it’s dead till we plug it in. Or get a voltmeter on the scene
	10:44pm Yagiboy: You need to run an oscilloscope to measure any unusual electronic radiation!
	🎸 ♥ 10:44pm probablyjohn: maybe there's ferrofluid in the speaker?
	♥ 10:45pm Eric the Hat: Deep frying might work.
	🎸 ♥ 10:45pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ probablyjohn @10:44 like 3 in one oil?
	♥ 10:45pm paddy in matawan: have you tried rebooting it?
	♥ 10:45pm herb.nyc: Tuned in 20’ ago, and am smiling at this tomfoolery (maybe the first time I’ve ever typed that word). And thx for mentioning LESEC, mark. But I think our ewaste events don’t reach Bronx or Staten Island (yet). Info - www.lesecologycenter.org...

	🎸 ♥ 10:51pm PaulRobeson1925: ↳ Eric the Hat @10:50 Yea & I want to know Neil Postman’s heart. & his beautiful mind
	🎸 ♥ 10:51pm probablyjohn: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:45 it's like rust suspended in oil, kinda gross, hopefully 3-in-1 isn't that? goes in the voice coil gap to increase power handling and other reasons.
	🎸 ♥ 10:52pm chresti: an alexa doll that grows hair
	🎸 ♥ 10:53pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ probablyjohn @10:51 ah got it thanks…

	🎸 ♥ 10:37pm PaulRobeson1925: ↳ PaulRobeson1925 @10:02 The most obvious question to be asked about any new tech-nology-for example, interactive television, virtual reality, the Internet, or, for that matter, doorknobs and toasters that "under-stand" human speech—is, What is the problem to which this technology is the solution? This question needs to be asked because there are technologies that are employed-indeed, invented-to solve problems that no normal person would regard as significant. Of course, any technology can be marketed to create an illusion of significance, but an intelligent, aware person need not believe it. There are those in high places and with easy access to our collective ear who, in speaking of the information superhighway, stress that it will make possible five hundred or a thousand television stations. Are we not, then, obliged to ask, Is this a problem that most of us yearn to have solved; indeed, need to have solved? Do we believe that having access to forty or fifty stations, as we now do, is inad-equate, that they are not sufficient to provide the information and amusement we require? Or let us take as another example talking to doorknobs so that they turn at the sound of our voice. What problem is solved here? Is it that turning a doorknob is a burden? Is it a question of making doorknobs less vulnerable to burglars? Is it simply a matter of celebrating our own technological genius?

	🎸 ♥ 10:40pm PaulRobeson1925: …dreams of a technology that would make obsolete the task of locating and then sending recordings into action. One approaches the machinery and speaks the words "Frank Sinatra" or "Pavarotti" or, if you can imagine it, "The Spice Girls," and we hear them. May one ask, What is the problem solved by this? The answer, I am told, is speed. We are a people who measure our lives in seconds. Five seconds saved here, five seconds there, and at the end of the day, we have perhaps saved a minute. By year's end, we have saved over five hours. At death's door, we may allow ourselves a smile by gasping that we saved a month and a half, and no one will ask, But for what? NYC’s own son Neil Postman, babyy
