Consume
Consumers
Consumption, an archaic name for pulmonary tuberculosis
Everything is currently ‘consumer’ based. Not customer based, or user based. Consumers. Giant sucking vacuums mindlessly annihilating everything they touch. Human black holes, where nothing escapes their gluttonous pie-holes.
WTF.
In the Digital arena NOTHING is consumed, besides a little electricity. If I have a CD or DVD and I toss it into a furnace, it is consumed. If I copy that CD or DVD to my hard drive or phone, absolutely NOTHING is consumed!! If I downloaded a Tune and then made a copy for my laptop and phone, NOTHING is consumed! Media (ALL Media) need to stop calling digital sales and or licencing ‘consuming’ since nothing is used up!!
- Except the coal that ran the boiler that turned the generator that moved the electrons that Jack used to magnetize a few bits.
- And I won’t get into physics where nothing can ever be lost, E=MC² and all.
And please acknowledge that hearing or seeing (music or movies) doesn’t ‘consume’ anything either!
An old rhyme:
“TB or not TB. That is the question.
Consumption be done about it? A Corpse, a corpse!”
