Hughesair (Inflection Point)

Retired physician and air taxi operator, science writer and part time assistant professor, these editorials cover a wide range of topics. Mostly non political, mostly true, I write more from a lifetime of experience and from research, more science than convention. Subjects cover medicine, Alaska aviation, economics, technology and an occasional book review. Globalization or Democracy documents the historical roots of Oligarchy, the road to colonialism and tyranny

"I Love Bees"

Apparently, the latest craze is “I Love Bees.” Well why not, but what it amounts to is an online game with massive numbers of participants. A sci-fi plot is revealed to the players by thousands of ringing pay phones. The locations and times of the call are offered by latitude and longitude for the pocket GPS. So, lets get out and get some exercise.

Not long ago I read of a craze in London wherein hundreds of people would show up on a specified street corner or plaza at a specific time such as 5:20pm and dance to their own music for a few minutes and then disperse.

Does all of this communal interactive entertainment bode for a new form of media? Is it a threat to the RIAA or the MPIA? I hope so! Alternatively, is this merely a carry-over from “Dead Ants?" I hope that too and all of the above. It makes better sense than the politics
