perhaps - but if you're constantly exploring what you don't know, when do you have time to go deeper with & reflect on what you do know?

But also I worry - in my life, not anyone else's - about nostalgia. I'm teaching film and distribution/media/alternative/ digital/bandwidth systems are changing at such a high rate of speed - it's better I think to work with what is here and now and a month forward; otherwise one is trapped in a history that's increasingly depressing as the world totters towards greater and greater suffering. Instead of thinking, well, this is what the lists were, it's maybe more productive, again speaking for myself, to think, what are the available technologies now, what offers the greatest hope of communication, communi- ty, culture interest? This isn't to abandon the past, but not to create the 'generation' thing. Some of my students in their beginning 20s can't keep up - it's not so much generational as attitudinal. I keep thinking, we've got a short time on the planet, why not explore whatever we don't know and keep going that way? Lots of people are along for the ride!
