¢ TELLING ABOUT THE SCENE
² Written by:Excel/Mad Elks
¹
Imagine this: You'r sitting as usual
infront of your computer when your
grandmother, grandfather or anyone of
your relatives or friends walks into
your room. He/she watches you
painting, composing, coding or
whatever you'r doing. After a minute
or two he/she asks you: - What are
you doing? Well you probably tell
he/she that you'r painting (or
whatever). - Well, that sounds nice.
Well, that went just fine! But after
a hour or two you'r watching a demo.
And then your grandmother (lets say
that the person is your grandma'.)
steps into your room. After a minute
or two she asks: - What's this??
Gulp, What should I say now?? -
Well..... It's a demo... - A demo??
what's that? - The thing you see on
the screen.. - Yes, but can you use
it to anything? - Hrhmmmm... no..
not really... - Is these all demos??
She looks into your diskboxes full
with demos!! - Well, yes... - It
looks like a couple of hundreds
disks... Now the situation is really
embarrassing....
I bet that you've been in this
situation atleast once! You have to
admit that it isn't so easy to tell
about the scene. I once had a lecture
about the scene in school. I told
them about: Groups, the scene,
coding, painting, swapping, bbs's,
¶diskmags and so on. I even showed
them a video with: 3D demo II, state
of art and so on. But they didn't get
it. When the lecture was almost over
I let the class ask questions. The
first one I got was: - Have you been
hacking Penthagon? - Ehh? NOOO!!
Didn't you guys listen? The second
one came from my teacher: - How many
hours do you spend every day infront
of your computer? - (Gulp!) Well,
almost 6 hours a day.. - SIX HOURS A
DAY?? She almost screamed!!! Well,
not on school days I hope? - Well...
yes.. She looked VERY confused!! -
Well, I'm sure that you LOVE your
computer!? - A bit maybe....
You see that they can't understand our
passion. Well, look at it from their
view: We are a bit strange becuase
we're spending very much time and
money on a computer!!! They probably
think that it's just a computer they
can see on news on television, a black
screen with many gren numbers.. And
try to explain the handles we're
using.....
Well, some guys I've been speaking
with understood me, but they still
think it's silly. It's not easy as
you can see..
Anybody out there who has some hints
for us others?
Thanks for reading!
