the Power of Shazam

   
   
Current mood:  geeky
We no longer hve to remember anything a tall. Those old reader's Digest How to books, Encyclopedia Brittanica, shops, all  vapourised by the net. Now the joy of trying to remember a song is gone. An app on the Iphone Shazam means any tune that is playing can be sorted by pointing the phone at it. It downloads the name of the track and band, links to lyrics, youtube, anything you like. Fun but disposable. Everything is quick and disposable.
Except joining Facebook where your ghost lives on forever being recruited into Yo-ville gangbangs and pirate, vampire, mobster, knight assault teams.
2012. Couple more years of pretend living, then onto cyber purgatory. If there is God, He/She is a gamer.
