Stories from the fringe people
To open up my mind regarding the illusion of impossibilities...
Does great art only come from having experienced great pain? Does a storyteller have moral obligations (message distorted), and is vengeance ever right? .... I can't remember everything the review was saying about it, but 'The Pillowman' looks interesting...
Is God like a movie director, or a puppeteer, pulling our strings? Is that our definition of his omnipotence and all-knowing? Or is he reacting to the every move of billions of free wills, understanding us perfectly and getting in place to receive us at the end?

Andrew L. Shapiro (1999) argues that the "emergence of new, digital technologies signals "a potentially radical shift of who is in control of information, experience and resources" (Shapiro cited in Croteau and Hoynes 2003: 322). W. Russell Neuman (1991) suggests that whilst the "new media" have technical capabilities to pull in one direction, economic and social forces pull back in the opposite direction. Thus, although social changes will occur, they "will be evolutionary, not revolutionary" (Croteau and Hoynes 2003: 322). According to Neuman, "We are witnessing the evolution of a universal interconnected network of audio, video, and electronic text communications that will blur the distinction between interpersonal and mass communication and between public and private communication" (Neuman cited in Croteau and Hoynes 2003: 322). Neuman argues that New Media:
will alter the meaning of geographic distance
Allow for a huge increase in the volume of communication.
Provide the possibility of increasing the speed of communication.
Provide opportunities for interactive communication.
Allow forms of communication that were previously separate to overlap and interconnect.
