From the article:
“We are currently in a rare moment where we have three
types of audiences all co-mingling at one time: those who
remember the birth of VHS and what cinema was like before
it, those who grew up with VHS and remember its demise, and
those who never experienced VHS as anything but a cultural
artifact.”

I like the pace of technological advancements, from your
grainy (over used) VHS vintage porn, to bullet time 1080p
cumshots in 3D..

Honestly though, i miss VHS and those times browsing in a
video shop on cold a winters evening ;p

Its not technological advancement, its sales tactics to keep
prices high and avoid competition from used movie sales by
continually making a new medium dominant as an artificial
market to trick everyone into with media brainwashing
manipulation and planned obsolescence. Each 'advancement' is
shittier not better, like blueray is the new one I think.
All the new stuff is full of proprietary user subjugating
spy technology and backdoors. Or something like that, who
cares.

We are deep into the information age, a ubiquitous world of
smart dust computers that monitor everything around us, a
world of sensors that track everything we do, and you can't
escape it wmw.

Planned obsolescence is necessary to keep the economy
moving, without it we would have major problems because no
one would buy anything and so the banks would dry up. It's a
shame that we have this system, but that can't be changed
and unfortunately it needs to be maintained that way.

Yeah those meanos fooling with so called dirt for us to buy
soap.
Also the holocaust never existed and AIDS is fake.
HD hasn't won me over though to be honest. Watching
something not made for HD in HD is horrible. In cinema it's
going to get worse too. I miss that eighties american film
vibe. Have yet to watch something in 3D.
