I don’t know if people have less fun now, but everything they do is distracted. (Young people today) are distracted from actually living the moments in their lives. We weren’t taking a photo or a video of it – we were having the actual experience. When we went out to dance, we were dancing. We didn’t have voice mail and cell phones and were the last generation unburdened by the constant demands of technology. We were the last generation able to truly live in the moment. How has New York City nightlife changed since the disco era?Ī. Well my dears check this out from the AMNY newspaper interview with Randy Jones, 59, is the original cowboy in The Village People on the issue: Randy Jones, Village People cowboy on NYC’s nightlife evolution I dont wanna to do like those similuation news shows and spell it out for everyone But There is something worseĬulturally there is a ramification that to me is worse than inadvertent spying. Then I can access the pictures us it to enrich my timeline activities that … well I will stop there. I am not a great programmer, but I can imagine interfacing with Twitter using the twitter API doing a scan for hot or keywords or whats trending, or do a search for GPS coordinations or locations with activity using, this sounds like a great us of Perl KML module and Regex searches.

Combine this with the technology alreayd used by the security, one can have a power way of isolating trouble before it brew into a serious life-threatening situation. It is quite easy to hack or if one is the government get those images from Twitter and then create almost as close to a real time image of whats going on who is there who isnt there, what lookings suspicious. If you think about it now that ipads, Ipods, Iphone, Istupidshit and a plethora of other technology have picture taking capabilities, and the databasing and datawarehousing, its quite easy to imagine that We are spying on each other without even knowing it. When there is an event going on,and thousands of people are presents, each taking pictures and uploading to Twitter or a host of other social media site. What Does That Mean?Įverywhere I go in the city I see people taking pictures in the locker room of the gym which kind of funny, at the movies at Broadway, at the Statue of Liberty, at sunking donuts etc. Then when asked why I said that we do it for Big Brother. In the course of our drunken conversation, I cant remember what it was about, someone said big Brother is Watching. I was joking around with some friends after drink a lot of beer, Leffe Blonde.
