eversharin'

["dp" <dp@xxxxxxxxxx>]

i completely agree with pelagius! 

now a days, there's too much collection of useless information,
everything is recorded and stored. what's the point? 

it's fetish. 

something like the eversharing object has this ephemeral aura which
makes it transcend some of our most recent everyday habits. 

the only thing i'm a little skeptical is, human nature. 

with that meaning, all we say here in the list is so utopic, but
how is it that we're actually going to have people listen to it
only once? 

what is it that will compell them to act in the proper way?
(if there exists such a thing) 

anyway, if we can get this sorted out, i'm definitely in for this
one, which, much more than placing cd-rs in a music shop, does undermine
some of the manic aspects of this time. 

best to all.
