I THINK that audio and video over the INTERNET in the SENSE of teleconferencing and telephone calls. MAYBE we'll ACTUALLY have picture phone through your work station.
I think one of the great things is that when I got STARTED, no one would RETURN my CALLS, and now I GET a lot of phone calls, which is good. I have options.
The worst thing about being a FREELANCE film DIRECTOR is that you're scrambling around Soho with a briefcase, looking for somewhere to make phone calls. That was my position for 10 YEARS.
Where I GREW up, we had the three TV networks, maybe TWORADIO stations, no cable TV. We STILL had a long-distance party line in our neighborhood, so you could listen to all your neighbors' phone calls. We had a very small public library, and the nearest BOOKSTORE was an hour away.
I always get SUPER confused by the way we look at technology, because since when were all PHONE calls created equal? It's not LIKE every TEXT is the same or that all texts are human interactions that are compromised. I don't get how conduits somehow dictate sentiment.
