Week 2
A Day Made of Glass is a very
strange vision of the future. The technology is fine but the application is
just strange, especially in the classroom. I don’t want to live in this kind of
world. Corning is visionary. But Corning’s new world is pretty scary. I would
have loved to see a vignette of a worship service where the leader is touching
a large piece of glass while images and text is appearing and flashing and
talking to the congregation while they look on with contented smiles on
all their faces. Do these people eat Soylent Green for lunch? Ugh. Has anyone
seen the movie? Where the old people go to be euthanized in a room that is
filled with beautiful music and images. I wonder if Corning designed that room?
