I was Thinking, or Not

So radio is dead.  Bad enough what video did to music, but the internet has completely killed radio.  I mean sure it is still out there, programmed stations running the same crap so advertisers can attempt to influence the captive audience.  Don't get me wrong, even the internet has advertisers, but for the most part they are easier to tune out, most of the time. What I want is real radio on the web.  I want a computer DJ who plays a huge verity of music all day everyday, someone like Lazo.  I do not want it to sound like a computer, but I don't want a human DJ either. Computer vocalization is pretty horrible.  It is not too bad for things like mapping software, or search, but otherwise it pretty much sucks.  Computers do not get inflection apparently.  Hell I know a lot of people that do not grasp that concept, so not surprising when computers get it wrong.  They are after all our creations. Perhaps Alexa or Google Now will evilly get it....

I think the social networks are severely overrated.  They are not social at all.  I used to be all about first adoption, had to know what was on the horizon.  Now I just don't care, I'm so beyond all that.  Facebook, I don't know why I even still have an account there.  Of what use is all the static that flows from the stream of unconsciousness that is Twitter.  It is so much noise.  I just don't care enough about people or things anymore.  Even this blog has become narcissistic, perhaps it always was.  Personally I would not know, being wrapped up so much in my own self worth.
