User talk:Up The Down Escalator

Hello, This is Up The Down Escalator. I chose this name from an old post-punk song I really like; in which the title is of the same name. The band is called Chameleons UK. It came out in the early 80s around 82-83 (not sure of its true release date). It sort of reflects life in general for me.. especially being out of work for sometime. I'm not one of these "hope to make money from film making" types but I really considered being a director back in the 80s prior to reality tv and the advent of the internet making everyone a star, though I am in no way negating that new medium of this day and age. I think it's great and it has created some positives as well as brought on some negatives such as making it easier to slander people or spread rumors thousands of times faster then ever known before. In a sense the internet has brought much prosperity but it has brought on a whole new meaning of the old term "Sewing Circle". Sort of the e-sewing-circle society in many of the social networks. But the plus side is it has allowed people to have the ability to change plans and regroup in different locations with just a few pushes of a few buttons. people creating and destroying social cliques and creating new ones with new concepts each and every day. We really are just breaking into that true virtual reality of hologram/holograph software and displays which truly start to pop out in true 3D as if you can just reach out and truly have the sensation of touching (well probably not quit just yet). and virtual typing with motion detection surpassing the touch screens that came out decades ago though some above the 30 year old age groups remember the text versions of the dial-up era that existed decades prior, in the form of ANSI or ASCII art and dial-up BBS boards; as well as the original newsgroups which seem to be popular among some sub groups (as well as IRC users). But of course I am not an expert on computer history and other than some personal experiences I am not claiming to be as knowledgeable as most of you probably are who probably learned this from starting off in computer science and learned of the history that perceded even the late 70s and the first "affordable" (5-10k?USD) PCs. We had a basic Apple computer and an older PC that I recall learning BASICS-type commands and some coding when I started off in high-school (early 80s).

I would love some feedback. not sure how this really works or how I get to meet people. I should have viewed other members pages first. perhaps I'm not opening this topic up properly. I'm here to learn from others. I ask that no one troll the page as people seem to do on social chat sites or even video websites. It's funny at times and I'm not being uptight but I just want to keep to the rules and have at least one place were people practice some social sensibilities and some manners. -Peace out!
