The Dance of 1941



                       This is a jazz score. It shows a Big Band era style stage, with people dancing all over the room. It also shows soldiers beating each other up. This is from the movie "1941."

I Don't Want Big Brother Watching Me At the Grocery Store

Image
 First of all, I am the firstborn. Nothing can change that. I don't need "Big Brother" to watch me because I'm the big sister. I proudly did not have to experience that horrible event that was watching your older sibling get more privileges than you, because I was that sibling, thank you very much.  The type of "Big Brother" I am talking about here is in reference to 1984's "Big Brother Is Watching You." I heard through word of mouth about something in the news about grocery stores rolling out digital price tags with- get this - cameras for facial recognition , which is greatly disturbing. This aspect of AI is the most disturbing of all I have heard that AI can do. Thankfully my local grocery stores use paper price tags, which makes me feel better.   This is only something that has been talked about in the news. If it's only a rumor going around, I don't take it seriously until I know that it is the truth or it is not the truth. However...

The 2000s YouTube

Image
   I remember when YouTube was in its first few years. I was 9 when the first video, "Me At the Zoo", was uploaded. YouTube was much better before it was bought out by Google. It seemed to be run by independent artists, musicians, makeup artists and hairstylists alike who otherwise would not get their content seen or heard. The musicians never edited themselves in any way, it was just them being them, with a simple guitar and their voices, playing in their bedrooms and singing naturally, or playing the clarinet in church or in their living rooms. No fancy backdrops, no fixing their hair up, just real music. And everyday people were getting views. YouTube should have stayed this way.  Here are some of the videos I enjoyed watching in the 2000s:  Skillet- Yours to Hold (Cover by Lauren and Ashley) : two girls were on a dorm bed. One girl played     her Taylor guitar very well, and the other girl sang very nicely. Very well done. I cannot find it any...

The 2000s Mall

Image
 Our world has gotten more and more depersonalized by the minute. Adults throwing temper tantrums, not being able to log into a computer without it tracking your account to a certain device, and robots making decisions for us have become the norm. And this is the world that I graduated into to work in. Particularly in the last four years, I have seen people behave in ways that they should be ashamed of. I have seen six-year-olds behave much more maturely than many adults I have seen. I realize that I am only in the first few years of my working life, but not too long ago things were much better. The Internet, cell phones and email are all older than me, but I think we need much, much more moderation of what I grew up with that has now grown out of control. If things could go back to the way they were when I was a kid, and even as a young teenager, life would be so, so much better. I know I have said this before, we need to go back to the 2000s. I have shared on this blog the variou...
