NO MORE TECHNOLOGY PLEASE!

PERHAPS you remember the tons of lies predicated, amplified, day and night when compact disc players arrived more than 3 decades ago.  One of my favorites spins around the possibility of dancing a flamenco over them, without any damage.

As a result, cassttes, a perfect tool for most purposes, became obsolete and have almost disappeared.  The same happened with vynil, a somewhat cumbersome tool requiring care and maintenance, not to get into stylus, and the excessive exercise by today standards to get up, clean, put on another record.

The most important aspect of many records besides the beauty of many covers, is the information provided including the inner sleeves protecting the records.  In consequence every record was in this regard like a reference book. 

One can go beyond and state that cardboard and paper are organic
with smell, texture and colors changing with time. 

Going to a record store, to check old and new offers was a real amusing trip requiring no money, similar to visiting a library to read, learn or just kill time in a productive fashion.

One more transcendental issue was the quality of the music recorded, the sound. Then and know experts and musicians claim that  compact discs  had cold/flat quality unlike vynil, warm and live. For that reason people like Elvis Costello, still record in all formats including vynil.

The arrival of compact discs destroyed all the above. The gullible, threw away their vynil records and cassettes in bunches in the garbage.

Stereo equipment was also part of the picture. I remember the first sophisticated strereo I ever saw and heard music at home. It was the residence of the Monteverde family in Caguas.  What a trip!

The possibility of controlling bass and treble and will makes in my opinion the pleasure of listening to music complete.

My first 35 watts per channel, was a Harman/Kardon receiver, with Epicure speakers, a Sanyo turn table.  Later it was one of those popular for some time of the same brand, a Pioneer.

Now it is Sony, Teac, Technique and Bose.  Yes, I still use the turn table and cassette player. One of the first records I ever bought, Sergio Mendes, Equinox, and 45 years old is still playable.

Now if you think all these is garbage, fine. However, take a minute for a little meditation exercise. Music nowadays is available mostly digitally, what the hell can you learn just listening to some, mostly garbage provided and sold by the piece and promoted by youtube or else.


The really sadly amusing aspect of technology in music today, is that super sophisticated sound and recording equipment is used to listen to regueton and hip hop, the most illiterate and unsophisticated music ever created globally by whites/blacks and mongrels, preferably with 500 watts of distortion!

In brief all this information/anecdotes are useful to extrapolate. It you take movies for example. I still prefer black and white films.
Special effects, lots of murders, rape, poor scripts, lousy music, plus the same crap, often with 1,2,3 parts is the offer.  What about the new rip off...3D?

Automobiles?  There is one hybrid with a hundred miles a gallon.
However, when you look at China, India, USA, Puerto Rico, and you observe those massive traffic jams, it seems that the fuel and electricity will run over in  a distance of five miles with the snake like traffic jams 24/7.

Hybrid/transngenetic seeds?  Find out what happens when traditional farmers get trapped around those agribusiness monsters of soy/corn you name it, start using glysophate in humongous amounts around flora/fauna and people.

Repeat after me....No more technology! Pretty please with sugar on top.

that is that
