It does not seem to me that in Paris or Ile were unfortunate not to hear planes flying overhead. Air travel has come into disrepute the attraction of the trip. We do not travel because the travel itself is no longer of interest: it is a journey. I remember a remark by Yves Calvi, his show C in air. He took a guest: "You bought a trip." What? Buy a trip? Is what you are buying a trip, good god? So. We visit this country as we descend to such a station. The hollow man, caught by his work in Paris, will always come on a beach in Tunisia. Besides the various types of pollution: noise, visual and ecological qu'occasionnent these machines, air travel is also no sign of real freedom in man, who design, from idea to implementation loses all benefit of a reality he knew. Why? because the idea does not reflect reality, the historical level but also at individual level. We get an idea of travel and then realize you left for reasons other than what is claimed. If we had known, we would not even be gone. If the first designer of the aircraft had been expected migration nightmare that his invention would lead, if he could see precisely the ugly reality that his invention would cause only if he had seen that Parisians already tired, insomniac, would forced to buy earplugs and double glazing because of his bullshit and only if he had seen the upheaval that this would provoke among backward peoples, but at least quiet, he would damn all in the trash. Dispelled this illusion, boredom comes naturally. Unable to approach the reality which is the same here or elsewhere, as everything seems to fade before leaving for the airport. Occur various ways to treat boredom, all necessarily vulgar and inept: compulsive shopping, expensive restaurants, exhibitionism, orgies or discreet sex tourism. The tourists, finding themselves with the same unfortunate exported its mediocrity.
I do not really see what are the inventions that we have brought something to share glasses, perhaps. Petrifying example of progress: the laptop. Come into our lives on the edge of the 2000s, it illustrates perfectly the dramatic from our naivete and ironic sense of any novelty. Stupid little gadget that makes them nervous and unnecessarily occupies our hands (girls become a new kind of jewelry), the laptop has a quick one, a few days, perhaps, set aside decades or centuries acquired politeness, propriety, modesty. With this trick, the man has truly unleashed. Putting himself to talk like a fool in the middle of the street (probably realizing a dream), he no longer cast a glance at the baker who made his money, took his phone in the middle of a session cinema, consultation doctor, etc ... Sales of this gadget probably declining, it was grafted to music. The young asshole thinks his music is great: it actually benefit everyone. The design is good, which is naive and knows no time, realize, evil, which thrives on the time and against him, against our intangible achievements. Suddenly, the bestial selfishness and childish, lurking in education, has been released: one could afford to despise each other openly and not secretly. But so every technological advance: contempt, he stuck the dehumanization train. Locally, people are beginning to ban angered and regulate the use of the laptop. Progress is slow, so to speak. It will take much time to climb the slope that has lost. In the meantime, the laptop has been outdated.
Also I love this little history of the Roman Emperor Vespasian, who works at the Coliseum, he undertook, had banned the use of a new machine. Why? because this machine put the unemployed men. Vespasian seems to have been the only politician wise.
