Yeah, sort of, except I was thinking of something with dimensions more akin to that of a typical mid/high range laptop. Also: on the software side the Atrix only expands to a web browser.  |

it looks cool but man does that guy sound full of himself "The richness and depth of the book is universally respected yet often undiscovered as the monopoly of the form and relevance of the information fades over time. The book’s intended function has decreased and the form remains linear in a non-linear world. By altering physical forms of information and shifting preconceived functions, new and unexpected roles emerge." |

Yeeeeaaa, aah cut up sam buuks coz itz pritty innit?
I really fucks me off when other people with an art education try to hide behind words. Especially when they don't reference any other art movements or artists to give their drivel any grounding. |

The book’s intended function has decreased and the form remains linear in a non-linear world. By altering physical forms of information and shifting preconceived functions, new and unexpected roles emerge." The thing that's funny is that his flavor of elitist-art talk is probably the most ghetto I've ever read. Way too many common words, plus what he's saying is actually understandable and not abstract enough. Understandable... but totally ridiculous and stupid, I disagree with him LYK so much.  Paraphrased VERSION: Books are respected... but sometimes go unread as information becomes defunct. Books are actually meant to be art (lawl) but now they're just for writing stuff down. By cutting up this book I am making it a sculpture of what used to just be words (bah), which I believe is super cool and kind of makes me brilliant. (LOLOL) NEVER-DA-LESS, I give his level of artistry an A- purely based on the emotional response I felt after reading his texty text. Annoyed is an emotion, right? @Shelby: Ha.. his writing makes me think of what I posted on facebook a little while ago. |

I finished Fahrenheit 451 today. Dystopian novels written fifty years ago are getting more and more eerie with how accurate they are.
Also, I hate it when I read a good book in a few sittings, because I can't stop thinking in prose.

Compare the camera filled Britain in V For Vendetta to modern Britain, it's eerie.

I'm actually doing a whole assignment in which I have chosen to compare dystopian societies from fifty years ago to how society is turning out today.
I have to choose four texts, and I think I'll be using Farenheit 451, Nineteen Eighty-Four, Brave New World, and Brazil. I'd kinda like to swap Brave New World out for a short story, though.

Annoyed is an emotion, right? He read me many other stanzas, each of which also won his own approval and elicited his lengthy explications. There was nothing remarkable about them. I did not even find them any worse than the first one. Application, resignation, and chance had gone into the writing; I saw, however, that Daneri's real work lay not in the poetry but in his invention of reasons why the poetry should be admired. Of course, this second phase of his effort modified the writing in his eyes, though not in the eyes of others. -- The Aleph |

For the love of- Doing these in *.GIFs is very redundant and wastes more than necessary file size. |

Huh? Neither the film nor the society it portrays is from fifty years ago. That's where my confusion lies. |

It's pretty obvious Ashkin was incorrect on Brazil's date or just didn't specify the exact dates in his parameters (given that every other movie is very close to the fifties).
It's not really confusing at all.
