Bird Pollution

Our "creators" either produce trivial novelty or rehash popular cliches that dummies want to hear. This same thinking dominates products and institutions, pushing out original ideas and fresh considerations.

Accordingly, technology remains firmly attached to wrong-headed ideas because creators are uncreative and insensitive, without consideration for humans who will be subjected to their works.

Products continue to beep in annoying monotones, alarming more than informing -- as if the only sound modern technology can make are beeps that no one wants to hear -- and soon birds become familiar with this artless language of sick consciousness and begin to emulate the droning beep of car locks, house alarms, and appliances.

We should instead pipe symphonies out the window so birds can sing music instead of repeating joyless beeps back at us, though that aural mirror serves as a useful mocking reminder of our boring uncreativity.
