Hippies!

I really have found the portions of Rhythm Science to be quite interesting.  It is definitely a change of pace.  DJ Spooky comments that people are very resistant towards change, and I have to admit, while I was reading his book I often found myself thinking, "What the hell is this guy talking about?"  It was almost as if I pictured him at one of those poetry sessions you always see on tv...people wearing berets, black turtlenecks, with candles and some funky jazz beat in the background.  Babes.  Beets.  Battlestar Galactica.

I think the approach to a less linear style of writing, and education, is on the rise.  I have met quite a few people that have attended a school in northern Wisconsin called "Conserve School," a place that takes different stylistic approaches when it comes to classroom instruction.  And more and more, I think that these styles, the "think outside of the box" strategies, will continue to form with the evolution of technology and culture.

Just think of how our kids will learn...it will probably be quite different than what we are experiencing today.  I think Rhythm Science is a snapshot of that.
