that doesn't mean cars have brought us to a better state of being
i keep seeing this commercial on tv for a kid's marker set. i think it's called the ROC writer. somewhere in there, the infomercial zombie says "you'll be able to create great art in no time!". and i think "yes, how wonderful that art production by children will be increased, i can't wait to see the new rates at which the inventories are filled..."

that's a good point man. the functionalist perspective is a powerful one.
with the advances in technology, one can experience many distant places in rapid succession, and one can experience many... (what is a photo?) ...visual instances in rapid succession and then have all those images left-over for keeps (stock the inventory!)
i want the meaning of these new abilities to be questioned. so what if you can pick up the new york times in nyc, read it on the plane, and then go to a cafe in calif? Time is the difference in the experience, compared to stage coach days. so what if you can have a thousand photos taken, developed, ready, in the time it would take to make a few dozen with chemical stuff? is that time enough to look at all of them, experience all of them?
It is a constant barb in my side, the worry that functionalist perspectives breed individuals who behave like the machines they admire.
not saying that's any of you, i don't know you that well :roll:

True; driving a Ferrari does not make you a better driver.
