Topic: EVOLUTION

I, and who didn't hear, WHEN I WAS YOUNG IT WAS A LOT BETTER, (GRANDMA & GRANDFATHER)
a classic and "protected expression".
WHAT WAS BETTER???? Maybe social contact.
If you have problems in your marriage, well no more talking. Compared to our grandparents, they managed to live pretty well WOMAN= KITCHEN and MAN=WORK. What is going wrong in our society? When my grandmother told me this in 1985, there were already a lot of changes, but take just the past 15 years: more things changed in a few years compared to the changes in the past 100 years.
I can't follow it, I read somewhere that NOKIA produces 1 different cell phone every month.
I had one of the first cell phones (in fact all new items, I NEEDED to have them), very expensive, and very bad coonections.
In 5 years: an ordinary TV == plasma, LCD, the good old video == DVD now Blue Ray or HDD.
A cell phone 1000 different phones. A camera == digital, a MP3 player, bigger and faster SD or CF cards. Incredible: iPHONE has it all, and here a NOKIA N95 (check it: 5 MPixels camera, 8 Gb memory, GPS, enough memory to put 2000 songs, and you can still expand this memory. The greatest problem is YOU WANT IT ALL, an the younger generation has even forgotten what a cell phone is: to call someone or to answer a call.
10 years ago, recording songs: very expensive, big room needed. TODAY: if you are very good in working with all the POCKET studios, like a BOSS BR 600, you can create your own song, all included, mistakes, singing bad --> finished, and put it on myspace and youtube. There are artists who became big using this. Will bands will be replaced by computers?
TOO much to mention, but good for a discussion

Re: EVOLUTION

about the whole women=kitchen men=work thing. girls/women today seem to have pretty high standards. society (i.e. movies, books) tell us that we will find the PERFECT GUY who is all we want in more. in reality, there is o such thing (no offense) so many girls get into the mindset that their guy is perfect, and then when he does something wrong they get totally angry and dump him. i think that's where the 50% divorce rate is coming from.

my cell plan is 250 mins/month. i get a lot of text messages though. even still my parents are constantly making me do things like work out, go outside, study, and of course play guitar. i try not to get too wrapped up in technology but it's hard because its EVERYWHERE, especially in highschool.

some bands are computers... lip synching, in my humble opinion, is extremely phony (hehe holden caulfield) music used to be about talent, about that amazing feeling of being on stage and pouring your heart out through music. now it's turned into if youre pretty, have lotsa money and happen to want to sing go right ahead! there are no led zeppelins anymore, no beatles, no rolling stones either. its survival of the richest (and the occasional "american idol")

If you spend your life judging people, how will you ever have time to love them ♥

Re: EVOLUTION

About these "cliché" situations, a man didn't change a lot. 50 - 100 years ago, at least here in Belgium, you had a "bar" every 3 houses. Also people worked about 12 hours a day.
Most of these men, married a girl from the regio where they lived. My grandfather (who was mayor for 50 years) told that he and his brother, somewhere in the early 20ties, where going to another village, maybe 5 miles from where they lived, and they started dancing with a local "beauty", a fight was guaranteed.
A typical reaction, probably existing since long, was: trouble at home = joining almost every social event, like soccer, church (after church, playing cards with friends) coming home with a very light head, and a leave-me-alone attitude. The women, having back then a lot of children depended on the money father earned. Every week he gave his money to his wife, who kept all bills and accounts. Today, to have a more or less decent life, you have to go both working.
