This MediaFree and Gridless arc has thus far explored - what is "accessibility"
- how important is it to be accessible
- how to become a god
- demonstrating godhood
- how much accessibility is enough
- where do "accessible" and "available" meet
- the boundaries between real and cyber realities are blurring
I quoted Robert Redford in my last entry. I didn't quote Robert Redford exactly. I quoted a character he played in a movie. Proof, that, that line boundaries between real and not-real are blurring, me thinks.
Going gridless. Getting unplugged. Becoming media free.It allows us to focus on what's local to us rather than what's virtual to us. Does food taste different when you eat and aren't devoting your attention to some media? Does a virtual kiss mean as much if I can't taste my lover's lips, feel their body mold to mine, sense their passion rise as they open themself to me? Evidently some people find a virtual kiss much more meaningful than a real one. At least that's what I discovered in Second Life? I don't find you interesting in Real Life
Can appropriate media enhance some non-media sensory experience? Well, according to a recent Weekend America piece, The Cutting Edge of Rollercoasters, probably so.
