Point Taken, and Thanks
I have a slightly different take on things simply because of my age. I see things changing around me and don't like what I see. The dribble that is coming out of Nashville, LA, and NY simply doesn't appeal to me. And I'm not alone. I think we are in the middle of a period where people like the ones on this site, are gonna collectively affect major change. We won't see it tomorrow, but I see it coming. People like us embrace technology and will find a way to use it for the positive. I recently did a research paper on technology and it's effect on the creative process. When you step back and see it for what it is, historically, technology tends to spin things 180 degrees every 25 years or so. With today's file sharing and the like, how long before the collaborators take charge of the environment? I think it's coming. Just as labor unions changed the work environment, creative people are going to unite to take back what always belonged to them in the first place. My insane vision of it is 1,000's of us united to the core as a group, from every angle. We're entirely too fragmented today, but I see things spinning, as little groups like we have here continue to grow. All creative people have a particular expertise if you will, that when combined, can take control. Sorry, I'm just an old hippy having a flashback. lol
