...media...

how to use modern media, what they can do to us, what they can be good for (like everything in this world):

a comment under a friend´s (own) post on flickr:

When I look at this comment stream, I am moved to tears. Its gratitude, mainly. And some sorrow, when I think of people who are not here. It's a little like when you have a beautiful sweater (or jumper as they say across the pond) and it is knitted with care. Then one day, you realize a piece of the yarn got caught on something and its dangling out of place. Do our eyes see the whole sweater at that moment, or just the "out of place" thread? If you know how, you can skillfully restore the sweater almost to normal. If you don't have that skill, you let it keep unravelling.
I am trying to learn the skill of restoring, rather than unravelling. In some cases, i am learning too late, especially when others lack the same skill.
But look at the lovely sweater that is being woven here, by these good people. Thank you all.
