on THE METs ventures into satellite transmissions, sirius radio, downloadable (is that a new word?) opera onto itunes, computers, etc. one Has to get that sinking feeling that we need NEVER step outside our 'cozy caves' to experience and enjoy anything?
No need to TALK to people where there is, Facebook, Twitter, work from home, email. Could it maybe mean that over generations tongues will atrophy, legs too, fingers lengthen so touching the screen " virtual keyboard"becomes easier from a reclining position...one must be comfortable when watching, opera, plays, movies, games :-).Robots will scurry round with drinks and food , because that maggoty thing on a couch that just reaches out to 'touch something' will have little need for moving about.
So how about that?
Robotic Hockey, or Soccer or Theater and Opera in front of virtual fans?
Horrors! Nightmares! Omens!
Back to the future?
:) or better yet :(
