flyer over states, the third coast, the space in-between, not the east and not the west coasts, not the trendsetters, but geographic location limiting exposures to the cutting edge. what is it when it's applied digitally? There's still that time difference, of knowing and applying and doing things when they seem new and fresh, never before seen or done, and then everyone else catches up, and that's what it's like to be from New York or LA and hip to the scene and feeling the pulse. so what is it online? and I think back to the Illuminates trilogy, of the neophiles vs neophobes, but still, how do we classify those people on the bleeding edge online vs. the latecomers? what's that label? Or that badge of pride? How are we to look down on others without those info social groupings? |
