Why the north pole? There’s nothing up there. They could beam their signals to anywhere on earth. Perhaps it was so a single antenna could always see the geosynchronous satellite, but it would be touching the horizon, and it would be far cheaper to have receiving stations spaced globally.

GOD!

And don’t EVEN get me started on 50-lane highways through the center of a city, or cities deep in the ocean for no reason.

Oh, and the “kitchen of tomorrow” had cabinets that rose up out of the floor. So if you get a glass of water, you had to wait 15 seconds for the cabinet to rise up. You couldn’t even put anything else oin top of that space 9or it would block the cabinet. Not to mention power failures, the cost of electricity to run the motors, and the certainty of motor failure within 10 years.’

WTF were these people thinking?

And why didn;t I notice the gross impracticalities when I was an amazed, wide-eyed little girl?

First, Homer Dudley? Now that’s name!

So that’s who we have to thank for all the fake singers out there now. This is the worst music ever invented. I’m 30 and a musician, and even an electronic dj, and I am saying this vocoder/auto-tune crap is an abomination. Let’s here them all sing without it! I hope someone comes up with a guitar that plays by itself too. Maybe replace all drummers with drum machines? Seriously, it’s killing singing as an art, as we know it.

Btw, you kids today are as lame as they come. Not only are you all materialistic to the core, but you don’t hold your musicians to a higher standard. You will listen to whatever the radio and Disney will feed you like sheep!

I remember when Cher’s song came out, it is actually a cool song…because her use of the vocoder was very subtle, and we all know she CAN sing without it!! That’s what made it interesting.

I heard that Katy Perry was on sesame street, singing with a vocoder! I could not believe what I was hearing. Life is over as we know it. I would block that show if I had kids. Not only because she is a floozy, and I would not want my daughter to idolize her, but also because it’s total crap. I want them to know that is not real singing, or real music.

You parents that allow your kids to have iphones, webcams and watch crap like this when they are preteens are who’s to blame!! Nobody else!! I hope you all get diarrhea forever! I hate worthless parents, why did you have kids if all they are to you is cattle! Your raising a robot!
