Connecting

Okay, big news! I actually connected with someone. Odd, I know but I got to sit down with Hervé Oyenan today and learn about him and his life.

He is a PhD in Computer Science and an awesome guy. He had a lot to tell me, to teach me and changed my perspective on a lot of things. A picture was painted of technology in Ivory Coast and the publics feel for it.

It was simply amazing!

Guy Debord

Okay, so I don't really know much about him as a man but he has been rocking my world a little with some of his theories.

On social life history... "the decline of being into having and having into merely appearing."

"All that was once directly lived has become mere representation."

The "historical moment at which the commodity completes its colonization of social life."

Yeah, think on that for a while. It is almost two am and I can't get the implications out of my head.

Let me know what you think.

Night.
