the world is truly at our fingertips
In theory, we could almost do anything that has been done by others in the past and have a far better chance of creating something new in the future.... but, what do we do with it?
I see your bat mitzvah scenario play out daily in different ways. I just wonder, what is the scenario for a first kiss like now? Is it still through a dance at a party?
Your first kiss was in public? Not mine! It was in a boy's basement, his mother popping in now and then to check on us. She did not look happy, I remember that. Maybe because her son had let me smoke a cigarette down there. I still remember how he smelled, his acne meds I can still smell! Something quite missing via electronics, and must really affect the experience! If one is not able to fully experience the charge of human contact, do they settle for less? Does less seem good enough, as exciting? We are seemingly being systematically deadened.
hahahaha!
The quest for more and the quest for less - are the same psychology.
First kiss is going to be my next post btw. Might be fun!
