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?
