Welcome to the Thinking Grounds!
Note: This blog is now retired. I no longer stand behind everything I have written here; while I have indicated reversals of opinion in many places, I am sure there are posts I have forgotten about. Please feel free to follow me at my new blog.
This is a place where I think out loud about questions that are troubling me. You can find out more about me in the About page. My interests are eclectic, but I often frame things in terms I'm familiar with from my time studying English literature.

I don't know. What DOES it say about you?
Could be that the music intensified the mind-boggling messages being played, giving you anxiety. That's my guess.
Cool video.
Well, I'm not completely in the dark on why I am terrified: it means that 1) technology is at least becoming more populous than humans and 2) that technology is increasingly become a mediator (read "barrier") between humans.
"Robot revolution" comes to mind, but I mean this metaphorically, not literally: that we, as people, are approaching obsolence in the face of technology. Also, I think all this tech will likely be horrible on the environment.
