    i remember the fall of Berlin wall, i was very young but i do remember. I remember the end of that either/or era

    i remember internet going global and accessible. I remember the early internet that was about information wanting to be shared. Not the internet of globalSupermarket + gov.net + selfie

    i remember discovering new and exciting sounds that weren’t possible before sampler/sequencers

    i remember scandals that actually ended political careers. I remember people disagreeing because their ideas of a better world was different and not because they hated people who think differently

    it wasn’t “still bad then”, there was a sense of things getting “better”. Can we say the same thing today? Who thinks the world will be a better place in 5 years or 10?
