Andrei commnets on Internet and creativity

International disaster, gonna be a blaster
Gonna rearrange our lives
International disaster, send for the master
Don't wait to see the white of his eyes
International disaster, international disaster
Price of silver droppin' so do yer Christmas shopping
Before you lose the chance to score (Pembroke)

Nor services to do, till you require.

I adore Codrescu. :swoon: Been listening to him on NPR for decades.

I used to try to take some digiscoped pictures of birds. It took a lot of time and I had time for less birds. Then I saw a bumch of people's photos and really gave up. I could see I'd need to spend thousands for proper equipment. So in that sense Andrei is right. It discourages on a personal level. Even though you know that all those people, and you, need to take all those photos to get the few good ones.

I think he's completely right about facebook, but I don't agree that the internet in general is bad for creativity, not by a long way. I think it depends how you use it.
[Disclaimer - if this is comes across like I think I know what I'm talking about, I want to make it clear that I don't. I'm just trying to get my thoughts down]
