Here’s What’s Wrong With Our Remix Culture. It’s Transforming Us All into Digital Zombies.

<p>As a teenager, I was proud of being born in the 1960s &mdash; the flickering embers of the 1960s, but still the sixties.</p> <p>I don&rsquo;t have a good explanation for my pride in this fact. But I guess it has something to do with feeling older, wiser, and better than my friends who were born in the 70s.</p> <p>It&rsquo;s the opposite of buying a car at year&rsquo;s end, say December 22nd. Ten days later, on New Year&rsquo;s Day, the car seems one year old already. But if you are born in December? That feels different. That makes you older in a good sense &mdash; instant maturity and wisdom,</p> <p>And the special feeling of being born in the sixties never disappeared.</p> <h1><strong>In My Life</strong></h1> <p>Being born in 1969 feels like something magical. The first human set foot on the moon. The Internet was invented (at least a predecessor version of it). The Beatles recorded their final album with the iconic cover art &mdash; showing the four Beatles walking across a zebra crossing on Abbey Road.</p> <p>Defining moments in history &mdash; moments that made our world &mdash; and I was around to &ldquo;see&rdquo; (without realizing) them.</p> <p>I am often reminded of these magical memories and feelings in today&rsquo;s world. I find the discussions about the revival of crewed lunar missions fascinating. A friend told me about plans to develop a new streaming TV show, Butch &amp; Sundance, hugely inspired by the classic 1969 western, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.</p> <p><a href="https://erikpmvermeulen.medium.com/heres-what-s-wrong-with-our-remix-culture-it-s-transforming-us-all-into-digital-zombies-e20cb9ab47cb"><strong>Read More</strong></a></p>
