It sounds as if it is very applicable to today. I still find it hard to believe that when I was little computers were big machines that were owned by corporations. Now I own one that is much smaller and my cell phone has more memory than those old, giant computers!Terence Towles Canotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18397088843628331615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-53399669388629076812009-11-05T11:16:46.511-05:002009-11-05T11:16:46.511-05:00Really great post, & an interesting take on in...Really great post, & an interesting take on integrating new technologies. Nell Shipman did a "car film" too, called "Something New"--basically a melodrama, but the twist is that the hero & heroine escape the outlaws by driving a Maxwell across the desert. & thanks for mentioning Classicflix, which I didn't know about. I checked the site, & Eberle & I will have to sign up for that.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15687192784861682991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-4817149780520467742009-11-04T18:00:39.896-05:002009-11-04T18:00:39.896-05:00Brilliant post!

I bet The First Auto was a film that Orson Welles saw as a 12 year old and that he was deeply moved by it.Jonas Nordinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06065342609209811314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-34412817077974098792009-11-04T15:27:57.963-05:002009-11-04T15:27:57.963-05:00Wow, that ending must have been so jolting knowing...Wow, that ending must have been so jolting knowing what really happened to him!<br /><br />I've gotten ridiculously dependent on my blackberry, too. First thing in the morning I check my emails before even getting out of bed!! It's so sad. A lot of technologies I'm not happy about though-- like hand & eye scanners to clock in at work & also the onstar thing in cars.. those just creep me out!<br /><br />I'm thinking of getting ClassicFlix now instead of Netflix, especially to tap into the WB Archive! So many great, rare films!!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02026961018017690353noreply@blogger.com
