It was mostly "tongue in cheek" Jake, as we know full well that none of it is ever going to happen, BUTTT, with the advantage of hindsight, perhaps a lot of today’s “technology” could have been introduced with a little more "responsibility" and not just because advertising made people "want/need it". I often sit down and try to separate the types of things that we commonly buy/use and attempt to distinguish between the ones that I would have bought/used if I hadn't been "influenced" unduly by the "hype" advertising that I was relentlessly subjected too about it. Then at times I look at items that I bought a while back that I just "had to have" at that time and think, “what in the world was I ever thinking of”? Am I a victim of "propaganda" style advertising every time I watch TV, read a paper/magazine, or listen to the radio? Hell yes (I just wish it wasn't so)
