I think that in a time where just about anyone (with enough money) can create music and art of professional quality without any formal training or real effort or thought, the world of the arts has become over saturated with mass production. Avatar is kind of an example of this. Its not an original concept. It wasnt a good story, and the acting was decent. But damn, it looked good. Really good. And is one of the most acclaimed movies of the year. But 2 years from now, who will remember it?
Well, probably a lot of people just because of James Cameron.
Point I'm getting at is that computers and digital media have ruined almost every form of art. Art isn't supposed to be user-friendly. What place does a poet have in a world of tweets and blogs and the like?
