Hey Dr. Nericcio,

I was surprised to not see any daft punk on the robotic erotic electric website. Not only do most of their videos relate to class in some way, but they are like the classic rock of the robot-like music era. So, here to change that I give you their music video for their song “technologic.” The video does a great job of portraying how the media makes us like uniform robots in how we go about living our lives; they lyrics say it all. Hope you like:

Sincerely,

Chris Pozil

Ps. if you like this I recommend you check out come other daft punk videos, they all kind of have a cool meaning parallel to our class. Some other good ones are “da funk,” “robot rock,” and “around the world.”

Hey Dr. Nericcio,
I found this and thought you would find it just as interesting as I did, perhaps even more.

Sacher Von Robot

No dispatch today. Just a link to an amazing blog filled with golden and silver age sci-fi covers--imagine a walk through the cold war era collective unconscious of America, filled with lust for progress, a fetish for technology, and a fear and loathing of annihilation (hence, a desire for it) and you get the idea.

Sacher Von Robot?

I don't want to be too ironic, so for those for whom the title of today's entry is a bit obscure, go here.



UPDATE

A curious site which spelunks a related vein. The link previous is a translation of the original.
