Will film become obsolete? I don't think so, it may become scarce and more of a hobbie, but not gone entirely. It may be possible that it becomes very expensive to take your film someplace to be developed. There are A LOT of non-recyclable, no safe way to dispose of them chemicals used in film developing. I do not support the "green people' but they may make it difficult for someone to open a film processing store in the future.
This is all speculation based on past recent curves, but, I don't think it will go away completely.
They used one to soak my hand after a run in (rather 'run thorugh') with a sharp object. Had I known other uses, I may have opted for a garbage can or something. :-)
The lamp and typewriter DO look like old friends. Maybe it started like this:
Type: "Hi, I'm a Typewriter."
Lamp: "And I'm a lamp. That's wheelchair back there, he doesn't get out much anymore."
Type: "I'm still usable, if you don't need = or - or 8 and 9. You see, wheelchair decided to try and move which made lamp jump and land on my keys."
Lamp: "My Bad"
Wheelchair: "make sure you tell them I am still useful too as long as you have really good balance, and only need to go straight."
Type: (whispers) "Straighten your shade, no cares if you have 'game' or not."
Lamp: " Is it my turn to use the outlet yet? I mean I know my bulb is burned out but I like to pretend, you know what I mean?"
Type:"Imagination is the key that sets us apart from filing cabinets and crutches."
Lamp:"Oh I get it, the "key" ha ha ha."
Type:"Stop it! That's not funny anymore, fuse for brains!"
Lamp:"What was that? Jump on your keys again?"
Type:"No wait, WAIT! Doh!"
My mind is in the 'gutter' on this one, I can find a use having nothing to do Medicine or death or immobility (Except by the willing participant ;-) ) It all becomes sensual anatomical exploration of your partner.
"By: Frank too bad its photoshopped...
a) look at the lighting on the object, then look at the lighting in the room. Notice the difference?
b)the perspective between the object and its background seems off
c)shadows. whoa boy, the shadows undeeneath the large feet on the sides make it look like its floating, and the spaller posts (and the rest of the machine doesnt even cast a shadow
by "put there" im guessing you meant digitally?"
Wow, now we know where the misc. chemicals went that were missing from the pictures. Frank was drinking the soap from the dispensers. :-)
