When are YOU comin' for visit, vbo? We'd love to meet you in person. And thanks again for all your photos.
 

Thank you for inviting me and I would love to meet in person but I come to Europe every few years and I usually wonder a bit around western Europe prior to coming to Serbia or on my way back to Australia. This year I have been there but I did not have enough time to wonder and my flight was for the first time direct Dubai - Belgrade , so I ended up visiting just Serbia.
I will remember your invitation next time I come to Europe. Thank you again.

But modern reality is that digital culture is ubiquitous and history of any kind is a minority interest.

Then again it probably always was, except for a small minority of curious dilettantes and future empire builders.

Although it's easy to find teens who have no idea who the Beatles were, it's more astounding to me that the culture of the lates 60s to late 90s has been so persistent, and is still being rediscovered and enjoyed.

The decades before that don't seem to have been either as popular or historically sticky, and the only teens who know anything at all about pre-20th century history and culture are the small minority who are rich and pampered or have parents who are aggressively aspirational and middle class.

At the same time there's a new code culture with teens and students making their own art with tools like Processing, Scratch, PureData, and others - and when they grow up they move into mobile development and/or web design.

Some of them build real stuff out of real hardware too.
