let them eat cake

i love marie antoinette.
i love kirsten dunst as my favorite queen.
but what i really love is this picture.
i was just thinking today, i wish i could go back in time to the 50's when the television became popular.
and farther back to when they added sound to movies,
or color.
or when the telephone was invented,
or the gramophone.
i just think it would be sensational to see people's faces as they got to see this all unfold.
we live in a world where most of us take technology like laptops,
cell phones, 
ipods, 
etc
for granted. and in a way, so do i. because technology is so ubiquitous. 
but sometimes, i really do marvel at all that we have,
all that we've done, all that we can do.
and i love the internet, i love my mac, i love my cell phone & ipod.
without my computer, i never would have discovered so much music,
so many authors,
so many people, places, things, etc.
but sometimes i wonder if all of this technology is the
beginning of something beautiful,
or the end of us.
