I have just remembered and searched for the word "art in the age of mass reproduction". Benjamin's words (a quote from Wikipedia), "For the first time in world history, mechanical duplication has freed a work of art from its parasitic dependence on rituals." Computers were already playing a role. I haven't read his book yet, but I have a feeling that this book will probably play a new role in this era, again. It seems that his philosophy was taken advantage by Nazi. We cannot let them do the same thing again. GNU's philosophy seems to match his philosophy well.

Are the advantages of computer graphics just conveniency and efficiency?
