Before when I still subscribed to Television, I would have something like C-Span or CNN running in the background, just in case of nuclear war so I knew when to duck under my desk.
In current times I have the radio running and usually it is Public Radio informing me. I feel confident that I can believe what I see on the radio, mistrusting pictures I see in newspapers since I know about Photoshop and it's magical way of alteration of the visual truth.
Just last week, the radio was reporting on the defective brakes in some models of cars. What I heard was a comment from the auto manufacturer that they would 'adjust the software in the car to make the brakes work correctly."
Wow.
I remember brakes being mechanically connected and mechanically adjusted.
I remember my father had bought an old Model A Ford about the time I was going to college. When I drove it, he warned me about the 'mechanical brakes' this car had. I was used to hydraulic or even power brakes.
I saw how he made a 'heater' inside the car by drilling a hole down below the dashboard just the diameter of a frozen orange juice can. Then you could take the can out when you wanted some air to pass though the hot engine chamber and warm your feet. You just replaced the orange juice can when it was wet, or in summer when you didn't need the 'heater'.
Has anybody seen any art supplies with software inside to adjust the output of the tool? Coming soon we will be able to choose the Microsoft digital compressed charcoal with Windows Operating System controlling the mark-making. Or will it be Apple who gets this done first?
