Computer Sings

Some people can see the future. Whether this is due to some kind of intellectual prognostication (such as Wells, or Clarke), or spiritual gift (such as Acorah, or Geller) is beside the point. The fact is, they tell us - and we must decide whether or not to listen.

In 1984, a young idealist called James Cameron made himself a little film. The film predicted the coming of a near-future where the ‘computers’ would take over in the early 21st Century, and mankind would be forced to fight for it’s very existence. The film was called The Terminator, and at the time it was seen as an entertaining, if not frivolous little number. Some chose not to listen.

And they were right. It hasn’t happened. In fact, it hasn’t happened so much, it’s gone all the way round the Wrong-o-Meter, so that instead of hating us, I believe that ‘computers’ have become our ‘friends’.

"Where is your proof?" I hear you say, with a note of scepticism clear in your tone.

"Here it is.", I reply, a little too smugly.

The ‘computers’ are making us ‘music’:

Kid Quaalude – I Love Rock ‘n' Roll

Mr Hopkinson’s Computer – Crazy

So, we have nothing to fear. Hmm.

You can ‘download’ further ‘computer’ ‘music’ from Kid Quaalude’s ‘website’, and you can hear and purchase more from the elusive Mr Hopkinson’s Computer from his ‘Myspace’. I believe these can be found on the ‘futurenet’.

Please tell them how much we love them. Tell them, or they will kill us all.
