    was Andy Warhol even more inspired than mother shipton in predicting future ,when he said “in the future everyone will be famous for 15mins”,he was spot on,why do people want to go viral ?

    He said this in 1968 when you was lucky to know anyone outside your immediate area,another question is it a better world because you can basically communicate with everyone now?

    The big lesson of modern technology is that everyone is basically the same, worldwide. Most people want to provide a safe, healthy environment for their family and live a peaceful life. There is a theory - intragenerational homogeneity - that states that people of the same age in different countries have more in common than they do with their parents or children.

    remember my dad saying back in 1983, that he didnt feel part of world he knew anymore with video recorders and microwaves, so think you are spot on life is a generational thing and I am too old to understand modern trend,nice to see a positive take on the world too, thanks for those words, I am far too cynical for my own good at times
