The Mutalation of Publishing since 1894

Wednesday, January 22, 2014

"The result is a stack of paper occupying a significant physical space, and space seems to
have become one of the most valuable resources in our consumption oriented age."

Its an interesting thought to think about how people feel the need to fill a physical space and yet we only put what's "really" important on a hard drive. Print fills that space for us. We can't see whats on our hard drive. It doesn't fill a physical space that we can wrap out heads around. It seems to say that we need it to be held in our hands or real for us to accept it. BUT that doesn't mean that it can't change. It seems that the only reason for us to really consume this space is due to a weird marketing  ploy to always keep us buying shit. Is it a possibility that we can move away from this consumption oriented age or is it some weird gorilla chest beating ritual that marketing geniuses turned against us to keep us buying things?
