Someone at the festival I met that went to this mentioned it would be
online.

Does anyone know when/where?

Thanks,

Err, not the place really to debate this, but it depends on the technology.
Technology is a tool. You can't point to a particular technology, excepting
weapons systems that uniformlly gives advantage to the haves at the expense
of the have-nots.

I think (without having been there) that the Submerge panel were talking
about technologies -- like the Internet and music software  -- that has been
enabling for musicians ...

I'd like to hear more specific instances of where you thought the panelists
were 'pro-technology' in a way that conflicts with your concern (which I
share) with globalization.  I have a hard time thinking Juan Atkins was
singing the praises of genetically modified food crops and The Gap.

But maybe we could discuss it in private e-mail.
