Re: apple reinvents the pen and cave painting!

but over time all the old tools were replaced by more efficient, cheaper and simpler tools...look at the ball point pen...the ink is already inside so you dont have to dip into the well all the time. and now you dont even need a pen or paper because you can just write on a computer or iphone or ipad screen, then send it to everyone in seconds...no waiting for ink to dry or typesetters to layout your book or postal system to ship it...it's called evolution and it changes the way we work......i for one cant wait to see fcp x on an ipad in all its glory...then we will really have something that will change lives! i can still remember the first time i sowed an avid edtotr with his huge system and interfaces and beta machines how a simple fire wire enabled laptop and a dv tape could change his life...he scoffed, telling me it would never catch on because it wasnt professional and only cost a fraction of a "real" edit system so it must not be anygood...i watched over the next few years as his clients all left him for the new guy with the super quick and cheap fcp suite. i remember he even told me that mini dv would never replace beta sp and 3/4 inch umatic tapes...that was the "professionals choice" of course a few years passed and he sold all his old expensive analog gear and old beat up tape machines and binned his aging mac for a shiny new system and fcp version 3. he was able to open 3 edit suites with the same amount of money he had spent on just room 2 years earlier...as a result he now could turn out 3 times as much work and could wean himself off the post houses and finish his projects on line himself. i did the same thing when i saw that it was now possible to grade in a somewhat professional manner from home.....i havent looked at a roll of film since and that was 5 years ago..
