Its pretty crazy.
snipped-for-privacy@gmail.com was saying that people don't want to read bullshit like t his, but I disagree. A lot of this (from a 1960's music perspective) is not weird, but still ... its and odd perspective.
You have a 15 year old kid about to enter college in an electrical engineer ing program. What's he (or she) thinking in a sniveling bratty manner? Pro bably:
"what? you mean you MANUALLY play a guitar? a synthesizer? drums? You're joking right? me and my friends make use our phones to design an interface , CPU, memory, power processor and audio and other hardware all to fit in a microscopic compartment so small, you can't even see it. In some cases - e ven with a microscope. Because its so small, it will use less energy."
Comparing stuff like that with more "traditional" music design and repair t hat you are used to just makes the whole thing look odd. But hey, it all w orks if you are comfy, right?.
