Right Brain Lefty

let us not confuse need with want. we are mostly about the business of desire fulfillment and creating the illusion that want equals need. The ipod, while changing the landscape of technology, can hardly be said to have made the world a better place. US Steel can be attributed to lending a hand to transforming the city into a mass of cheap, grey real estate to be exploited by the ‘haves’. And Costco? More of what you don’t need, right now, in bulk. we are manufacturing desire and ‘leveling the playing field’ by making good little consumers of the entire global village. that expressed, should we applaud our designers? If they are lending a voice to the have-nots, solving real over imagined problems, then yes, let us hold court for them. If, however, we are having galas to have galas, to toast champagne and rub elbows with more of the haves, then nay. nay. nay.
