The Analogue America


Neil Peter and all those magazines. Please note I'm risking my life in the middle of the street taking this pic.

Neil. This one is for you. And your urge for commenting Swedish news. A friend of Madeleines called America analogue. So true. But why is the American society so under-developed. Could you please tell me that. The phones are not working in the subway. Every other text gets lost. Phones are virtually impossible to fill with money. Nothing is online. Always and everywhere this stupid machine voice telling me things I do not want to hear. People still read newspapers in paper. Compared to Sweden this is crazy.

Not to mention. All meals include knife fork spoon three napkins at least three plastic containers and two additional plastic bags. Everyone buys soda on cans and throws them away in the next garbage bin. No one would ever consider a bike instead of a car. And they wonder what climate change is all about. Compared to Sweden this is a total nightmare. Couldn't we just bring about Swedish life style as a business concept..? Ie - stay informed and healthy while fighting global warming. Neil. That would be something for you me and Oprah.

We still will have to negotiate for your addiction to snus though. I'm not quite sure that snus would be an advantage for our new Utopian Digital American Society.
