The point of that is if you look at Walgreen's history they've always been pioneers in the application of technology. They're the only drugstore chain that I know to have their own satellite.
The laws of physics should allow us to arrange things molecule by molecule and even atom by atom and at some point it was inevitable that we would develop a technology that would let us do this.
My goal for technology has always been to reach a point where the technological mediation becomes invisible.
The over-all point is that new technology will not necessarily replace old technology but it will date it. By definition. Eventually it will replace it. But it's like people who had black-and-white TVs when color came out. They eventually decided whether or not the new technology was worth the investment.
The Internet is so big so powerful and pointless that for some people it is a complete substitute for life.
I taught in a small teacher's college for three or four years at which point all the administrators got a pay raise and the teaching faculty didn't.
My name is James Edward Franco. Ted is a nickname for Edward. That's what my parents called me. I also got 'Teddy Ruxpin' a lot. It just got to a point where I got sick of it so when a teacher called out 'James Franco' my junior year of high school I didn't correct her.
Literature is my life of course but from an ontological point of view. From an existential point of view I like being a teacher.
There is no teacher living or past who can give us the actual understanding of Truth. A teacher can only put our feet upon the path and point the way. That is all. It is wholly dependent on the individual to make his way to Truth.
If we wait until our lives are free from sorrow or difficulty then we wait forever. And miss the entire point.
