The Future

Recently, there were two articles in the LA Times that caught my interest. The first is that AT&T is planning to sell off its coin operated telephones. In practical terms, all this means is that some other entity will operate them, so they are just being rebranded. And the second was that the Los Angeles Metro is planning to install turnstiles at all the stations. Making it more cumbersome to enter the platforms.

While neither of these stories will effect my daily life, they remind me of paintings I have yet to make. They are markers of change that neither signal progress nor societal entropy despite the economies they serve and potential inconveniences they might cause to the users.
