I heard about Poloaroid shutting down their plants today - a few days late. I realized how sad that such a wonderful and pretty clunky technology is coming to an end and that I gotta get me some film!...and of course, that I still have my camera that my mother bought me in high school - I haven't kept on to any gadget for that long. Now that's longevity! (this is before I knew their instant film technology started in 1948!)
Not sure if anyone feels the same but I am feeling pretty nostalgic about the Polaroid! what other piece of technology can you think of that's been around pretty much unchanged for this long!? Like they say...they don't make'em like they used to anymore.

this is all very interesting and thus i want 2 comment, however commenting is very tough, how 2 find the right words 2 enlighten the paradigm @ hand, the paradigm being utterly ephemaral but @ the same time gravely weighing on our collective conscience. i garner that @ this time in late capitalism we stand @ the threshhold of something that weighs gravely on our collective conscience like moi not having class 2day and thus having ample time 2 engage in the controversial yat not so controversial discourse of casting light on the paradigm @ hand. Thoughts?
