What Will Be Effected When We Go All Digital?

Will it be a Smooth transition?

What other items may and could be effected?


I personally suspect that this will be OUR Y2K event.

What other items have analogue...?

Phones, cellphones, Computers, clocks, fax machines, printers, copiers, even some items in cars (though I'm uncertain if that would effect THAT or not).

What about microwaves and any other gadget that runs off analogue?

Gee, Smooth- yer makin my brain hurt.

It DOES feel as though, the powers that be and other leaders are so focused on the profits they're making, that all they SEEM to see are the effects within the Corporate-World and not the individual.

It's as if they have this mentality of:

"Just get a conversion box" They say- "Only $79.95. ..! Order yours, today."

Like you, it's more of a gut feeling.

With all of these gadgets going digital, we have things like the all-in-one printers - (Which use up ink like a wino on a binge). At first, I thought it was just the competitive market- more consumer mean more money, etc....

But why the push? Why don't they "Push" to sell the gadgets that are not only "All in ones" but the gadgets that have only one function.

A Fax Machine
A printer
A copier
A camera
A cell phone
Wolf brand chili for your pet ??
They are all simple, uncomplicated, and they have always worked.

After all, seniors and many disabled are going to have a tough -assed time switching over. Shoot, many non-disabled who are not seniors are already having a tough time with the switches that have already taken place.

Don't get me wrong, I am not apposed to changes, but there are too many undetermined things that can go wrong in such a dramatic - and immediate switch.

Dreamer

A valid point, Smooth.

You know who I envy when the crap hits the fan--?

Those who don't use the internets, tv, and ride bicycles everywhere they go.




It won't effect poor people, either- because those folks don't have a need for those gadgets the same way they need to put food on the table.

It's still about the "middle Class"-
Because, if those folks have not been warned that their analogue fax or analog PC, cellphone, copier, etc... may not work, when February 10th 2009, rolls around, there could be a LOT of angry peeps out there.


I think I'm moving to the country and dusting off my old bicycle.



Newsie

Well, my TVs are set to for the switch and my hard drive's set up for digital, but what about my monitor? Will my computer monitor (which is analog) be affected? Will my Fax - which is analog, be affected?

And the scary thing is, I have asked about these things, and nobody seems to know- AND they largely don't seem concerned. THAT alone concerns me.

Excuse me, Sir- I don't mean to bother you, Ma'am..... but I have a question....?


When we went from 8-track tapes to cassettes and from library books to books on the internets, the world didn't come to an end.





I mean, I'm all for the coming apocalypse where our Wolf Brand chili will be digitized-
My dog here, is looking forward to it.

8-trac tapes is one thing, but there are A LOT of different technologies this will effect.

Think of it this way.

My sister and I have fax machines. Mine is a digital one that can send colorized. My sister's fax is an analog device that can only read black and white. Because her device can only read black and white images, that's all she can receive.

But when all analog signals are shut down in 2009, will her analog fax work at all?

And that scenerio only involves one type of device.

Considering our infrastructure is not maintained properly, our population has grown SO much, and those pushing for these changes are the minority and not the majority of the population (Most people do not have cable for example)- there's bound to be blowback.


Meanwhile, get your poor dog off the Wolf Brand- or I'll call the SPCA.

I just looked at the USA's astrology chart on February 9th 2009 thru MArch 9th 2009


It's interesting. There's a destined Societal event during that time indicated by Vertex, part of furtune, North Node and Pluto and how they relate to Chiron, Mercury, Neptune & Jupiter. The 6th, 9th, and 12th houses are important, too.

Now look this over, I'll return on the other side to explain things as I see them.

First off, it's a split chart, indicating some type of division going on orchestrated by Pluto in the 9th house.

Pluto is about transformation. The 9th house has to do with travel, learning, and politics.
(Travel in this house also includes traveling through the air- in short- information traveling via the internet, tv, and other medias.)

That little symbol next to Pluto is Lilith (an asteroid) which represents mankind's "Original" sin. -Yes, even before Eve, Adam met Lilith. Lilith shows us how our greatest strength can also be our greatest undoing. (Usually, in the form of pride, Greed, etc...)

Pluto is in Capricorn (the sign of security) but still close enough to Sagittarius (Sign of media publishing among others)- so depending on how society reacts to the digital age, we could feel more or less secure.

But, Let's go to the House of Social concerns. Chiron, The Sun and Neptune are in the 11th house where the Signs Aquarius and Pisces share the spotlight.

But the planets are under Aquarian influences and Aquarius rules the house. Aquarius is about looking at ideas and objectives with a different spin- or new glasses. It's a rebel determined to do things his/ her way. The Sun brings focus to some Societal change, Neptune suggests there's emotion and magic (meaning this digital stuff) involved. But Chiron is interesting, because Chiron shows us where we need to learn. It's like the old phrase, "Doctors don't normally make good patients". What I see is that, we are good at making these technological advancements, but maybe the planets are trying to show us that we are still too young in using these technologies "Wisely".

Venus and Uranus in the 12th house, shows old patterns regarding greed and corruption.

Now, I'm going to divert your attention to an area I like to call, the area of destiny.

There's an asteroid in the 6th house, Libra called, Vertex. Wherever you see vertex touching anything, you will run across destined events. Libra is the sign that rukes relationships and seeks fairness. In the 6th house, the house of economics, employment, medicine, & general health, I can't help but wonder if something important will happen, because- the way it shines on Mercury (the Planet ruling thought and communication), Pluto (transformation), Venus in the 12th house, & the North Node (The lessons we have to learn)- tells me that our country will have an opportunity to learn some lessons that will effect our economy and our Societal health- and by that I mean, the way we look at our Society may undergo some changes.

If I haven't overwhelmed you guys with that... :lol!: Let me draw your attention to a bright spot. (Still in the "Area of Destiny" is, in the 7th house, "Part of Furtune". Part of Fortune shows us where we excel- where we have the opportunity to grow and learn. Part of Fortune is in the 7th House (Relationships), In Scorpio (Transformation). It's shining toward Pluto (Analog to digital) and the North Node (lessons) .... in what you ask...? Mercury, Mars, Jupiter- lined up with the north node, show where there is an opportunity for Society to change course, but the growing pains may cause mental and emotional (The moon in the 5th house) , even economical hardship. And I say this is an "Opportunity" because, the best lessons are sometimes the hardest.

I have a feeling we're heading for a hard lesson.

:geek: I'm still on; "Pluto's about transformation"


Daang, Girl! This stuff is heavy!

I knew it, an asteroid is coming.... hit the deck!!!!




Sorry, I got distracted.

Is there an astrology school for this, this is very interesting


Newsie

Oh--- yes, I see where past influences are erupting thru Aries in the 12th, Pisces can make things Emotional.

I also see a manipulative transformation going on. Either man made or divine. The grand trine is an Earth trine. (Taurus, Capricorn, Virgo)


Interesting.

A manipulation that may force a change in thoughts and ideas through action, bringing about a return to common sense- in short, bring us (as a society) back down to Earth.

-- Of course, that's the positive opportunity.

Wait- Bee, I can see why you chose the day after the switch, why did you use Dallas as the location? Because, I used Philadelphia and came up with the trine.


Serina

Okay...... if you use Philadelphia on the actual day of the switch (and you bring in the other asteroids)- this is what additionally happens: (And where I got the Earth trione)

But there is also a star pattern. 6 pointed star- indicating divine fate.

Ahhhh shucks, I didn't know how to do the location thingy.

But I see that using Philly on the day of the switch, gives the chart a Leo Moon. Very harsh, authoritative aspect.

So there are 2 trines. An Earth trine and an air trine. The Air trine covers divine elements as well as the digital communication. The earth trine is the grounding elements.

Not a perfect star, but I see where you're going with this. It's one thing you look at when looking for signs of destined events in an astrology chart.


~Aunt Bee

Excuse me, ma'am- I just have a question, if you don't mind.


Will there be an exam on this and should I bring my calculator?





I will say that seeing a star pattern is a reach, but I like the other stuff.
