I always enjoy your perspective on things! icic, but this post is kinda depressive for me to read, ^_^. It seems that nothing is real anymore....... .......but does that apply only to China? How do we know what is real anymore nowadays with everyday life filled with humangous amounts of information trying to get access into our tiny little brains. When we watch television, read the paper, talk to friends, walk in the city, surf the internet, play virtual games.......we consume non-stop information. Information that is provided by sources that we NEVER are able to check, whether it concerns the local newspaper, CNN, HBR, Times, or the gossip magazines. The key issue is thus not what is real or fake? In the end it all flushes down to: Trust. We trust that CNN will provide us with the utmost reliable information, we trust that my friend is telling me the truth, we trust that the world is round (*cause did you ever see that with your own eyes..........in life? Toffler, I trust you on your words that many things are not what it seems in China. Yet although a temple might be constructed in 2007, people might believe it is still holy. We believe what we want to believe, and we trust what we choose to believe. hey Toffler!
