ALright, you may say that it is a biological impossibility for Penn to physically be my grandmother. Though Nay, I say to you, Nay. If you look right into the eyes of the dragon, you will see her.
They may not be one in the same, but they look damn close.

Heeeeey Parker!
I miss your stupid ass.
I was thinking about what you guys were saying about our generation being born into a symbiosis with technology. I think that technology is advancing at such an exponential rate that it can no longer be defined generationally.
What I mean by that is that it's not just our generation, then our children's generation, but the turnover of definitional "generations" are becoming more and more prevalent.
I was talking with my 15 year old brother, and it's very common now for a lot of high schoolers to bring their laptops to school, and tons of them have phones (probably iphones too), ipods, etc. I wasn't even allowed to have that shit at my high school.
So if our generation is the one catalyst to bring about huge revolutionary change, what about the generations who are growing only a few years behind us, utilizing and adapting to technology at an ever decreasing age?
I wonder what it would be like if with this increase in technology use by younger and younger people, if maybe one day there would be a generation that quite literally uses technology to the extent that we do, beginning as soon as motor skills are developed.
I think this would inevitably bring the locus of power and influence to younger and younger groups of people. I was just about to work to the conclusion that maybe those in power would eventually become our species' children, indicating an influence on our world that could potentially be as purely innocent as only the children of our world can be, implicating all sorts of things.
But then it dawned on me, quite depressingly, that if younger and younger groups of people are accessing the world's information, then the maximum age for preserving one's innocence would continually decrease, and that might very well wholly eradicate innocence.
I'm quite fond of innocence. I can only now experience glimpses of such a time when I'm tripping; It sometimes makes me become a little kid and I'm laughing and playing nonstop without a care in the world.
But alas, probably innocence by definition implies ignorance, which I do not support in the least. It's just sad to see something like that fading away.
I enjoy these palavers. Those are some good points Chuck. Innocence is a dying ideal, sadly.
speaking of palavers, parker, i just finished The Waste Lands and started Wizard and Glass. I'm freakin' excited.
Yes!
Blaine must be insane because the rain in spain does NOT stay mainly on the plains. it's been raining here every few days, which aparently a meteorological oddity. Its supposedly never rains on Barcelona.
I quite enjoy the word palaver! Innoncence must be maintained!
