- Actually, this whole discussion of what looks attractive, and tans, and that
- what is considered attractive is what they wealthy or well-off in society
- look like got me thinking...
-
- With the certainly not slowing down computerization of the Western World,
- an emerging 'power' as it were, is going to be, yes, the Geek. Its a well
- and good historical truth that those who know how to use the technological
- advances generally have it much better than those who don't, and who better
- knows the new technological breakthroughs than the geek sorts...
-
- And with the next generation (yuppie spawn generation) of kiddies being
- literally inundated daily by computers and computer things, there is very
- little doubt that, in the future, you will either Know About computers or
- become quickly pushed aside....
-
- Does this mean, in 10-20 years (or even less time!) that the prevelant 'look'
- of the Attractive Male will be flourescent toned, glassy-eyed, geeky sorta
- looks? Does this mean that Large Breasted Women Types on shows like "Studs"
- will be discussing how they like their Man's Processor speed instead of his
- Manly Pecs?
-
- You laugh now, but think, they probably would have laughed themselves silly
- long back if you told them that the Prevelant Look that everybody was working
- hard to achieve was the same as the dumb peasant types down in the fields had...
