JELLO BIAFRA explains how the LAST supposedly revolutionary technological advances--cell phones and the Internet--have weakened REAL communities and increased alienation. Urban-design theorist J.H. KUNSTLER discusses our technology gurus' (at Google) inability to understand that you can make iPods out of petroleum (Dude), but not vice-versa!
Thanks to Hunchentoot for Jello Biafra and unwelcomeguests.net for the Kunstler.
