I'm finding Future Shock interesting. I recently started reading the book, and I can already tell that this prediction of the future is dated. Nonetheless, it is still interesting to read, and gives a great insight into futurists from our past. This week we also watched several scenes from "She's the Man", a movie starring Amanda Bynes that is loosely based off of twelfth night. I could see many similarities between the movie and twelfth night, and enjoyed spotting scenes in the movie that were similar to ones in the play.
Are you enjoying the book? It seems that you are. I find it very similar to the Singularity in a lot of ways, but also it seems to be a little bit more paranoid.
ReplyDeletePersonally I love the movie Shes The Man.......it may be my favorite. I heard its ur dads fav too. Maybe we could all have a movie night together?
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying Future Shock as well, although I do agree with Naomi, it seems a bit paranoid.
