Even though you know the answer, you'll probably still enjoy the show. Features selections from 2 funny and inteligent talks. 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 but not vice versa!
Thanks to Hunchentoot for the Biafra speech and to the Unwelcome Guests Collective (www.unwelcomeguests.org) for the Kunstler. Produced for WWUH-FM, Public Alternative Radio at the University of Hartford. Feedback to kdowst at hotmail dot com.
