For example, we could have a software showing a guy climbing mt everest, but there would still be an interest in an other human who is doing it. I watched a Sunday morning show on a major network this morning. They said that 3 billion people around the world had played a video game in one form or another. The point of view that you express is not necessarily shared by newer generations. Younger people these days often dont want to deal with a human to get a car loan, for instance. They prefer the solitude of an app. The same mentality would not care what generated a song...only that they like it or not. (and could get it for free) Anecdotal sidenote...The "millenials" get excited and angered quickly over the slightest insult to their humanity or that of (specific) others. Yet they don't seem to like interacting with each other very much. And there is this disproportionate affection across society for their dogs and cats, because the dogs and cats offer them unconditional love, no matter how screwy they are. (as long as the food keeps coming) It all seems interlaced.

"Defeatist Pessimists and Rose Colored Glasses Optimists are lonely companions, victims even. Both ideologies imply predestined outcomes, and therefore breed inactivity in its victims. Inaction is the only sure way to lose at anything in life. All positive action guarantees at least a fighting chance." -Brian Austin Whitney
