What we're witnessing, of course, is the... death of permanence. A new society is being created around us, being created from the broken pieces of today. And those who people that society are going to live in a... a very different world. Changes bombard our nervous systems; clambering for decisions. New values, new technologies, flood into our mind. The pressure of fast change forces us to question all we have been taught. 'Future shock' results from too much change, in too short a time. The disposability of products, and people... Thousands of people are alive today only because they carry, inside of them, electronic devices -- plastic bugs. The era of the disposable body.
