(From the Computers, Freedom, and Privacy weblog: Fun event after dinner last night: Rick Prelinger showed several ephemeral films -- old industrial movies, mainly, that would now or soon be lost to us if someone like Rick wasn't collecting them. These were all films about the future, which made it a shooting-ducks-in-a-barrel thing to comment on them, but it was fun all the same. Inspirational quote (roughly): The obstacles to utopian technological innovation aren't technological: they're social. . . . . We don't ask enough of our utopias. 9:31:38 AM    comment []
