Everything is amazing

// August 15th, 2010 // technology

I suppose I’ll contradict myself here. I’m becoming oriented for my doctoral studies tomorrow. Much of my teaching/studying will focus upon the incorporation of digital media in a musical setting (and be theoretically good). I don’t have everything on my shopping list just yet, but there is much at my disposal with this opportunity and I look forward to studies with my mentor. In the midst of a semester, it’s probably best for me not to complain about music notation software or other things that we expect (but really are major conveniences). Technology has come a long way. Our concerti involving mobile devices have become a little more sophisticated (this is true of toothbrushes as well) and there are many great companies creating standard software to do impressive things.

So in this world where we can make t-shirts out of old plastic bottles, try our hand at expressionistic painting, and cassettes are just good for breaking apart to use the tape as a bow for various string instruments, why not be smart about things, stop video chatting while operating a gasoline powered vehicle and drinking from a disposable cup, and take a moment to unplug electrical items that aren’t being used and see how else one can not be wasteful? There is much at our disposal and everything is amazing.
