Way OT, Mature Delivery Technologies
I’m a cyclist and while riding I can’t help but notice what’s discarded on the roadside. Today I noticed a DVD-R in the grass and I got to thinking about roadside debris as an indicator of the public acceptance delivery technologies. When I was a kid it was 8-track tapes and cassettes with tape pulled out and strewn over a few hundred feet. As a young adult it was VHS tapes and their half-inch shiny ribbons lining a section of roadway. Perhaps there’s a future for road side Blue-Ray DVD’s. I’ll keep riding and looking.

I mostly notice what lousy tastes Americans have in beer when I’m riding in Oregon and Iderho.
When you start to notice disposable iPods, that will indicate a major paradigm shift.

This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”

That is because anyone who drinks cheap mass produced beer is as little concerned about their “inner ecology” as they are the roadsides and so treat them with the same disregard.
OTOH, someone who takes the time and effort to imbibe microbrew finery, shows a conscious regard for their inner topography and ecology. Hence, they take the same care with the environment.
And let’s not get into the recycling angle on this leg of the thread.
