Just yesterday I posted a quasi-luddite rant about how these smart devices and services are infantalizing.

And now they're naming one Mother? I can't tell if I should feel vindicated or offended.



"All Watched Over By Machines Of Loving Grace"

Which poem (as you may well know) provided the title for Adam Curtis's interesting documentary about what happened when this cybernetic pastoral utopianism began to interact with politics and industry: http://vimeo.com/38724174


I'd love to see the series updated. This would be a good opportunity for a young filmmaker because the technology has advanced so much and the issues are more relevant now than ever.


Perhaps you should ask mother what to feel.


A spanking peripheral would be huge !
