I don't like Star Wars, its just not the way i roll.



Watching this video makes me realise how over rated technology can be in the sense of creating a good piece of Media. This video I have posted is the most simple video in the world yet I never get bored of watching it (and theres always something new that I find which I never realised before!). It has no flashy effects or such, yet I think its so much more interesting than a load of music videos out there that are over done with effects and fancy filming. That is probably because the song is one of favourite songs, but having one of your favourite songs accompanied by a bad music video is bad crack.

This got me thinking about what I want to for the 2020 brief. Well I still actually don't know what to do but today I was thinking to myself that I don't actually think much will of changed in 13 years. The most will be that will of happened is there will be a mobile phone that you can fit in... your tooth and will ring, be a camera, music player, video recorder, computer, boil water, do your ironing and what not.

One thing that scares me is all this online teaching that we are getting encouraged to take part in. I think the internet is starting to take over peoples lives and before long it will be so drastic that people will not have to leave the house. Soon we will be educated over the internet instead of having taught classes, we already talk to our friends online but soon it will be as bad as we never have to see them because we will have everything before our eyes at home on your desktop computer. "Online disco tonight at 10pm, be there or be a low life". Its all madness and it scares me. I blame Tom from myspace.

I like this song as well, Melissa. Nice synths. Great find. The video makes it seem more raw without those fancy fx.
Looks like the band is on a budget too - there's only two of em!
