Mimeograph & the primal revolution

i didn't know anything about this whole movement until now -- the "Quick way to get new work out" and what a revolution at this point in time -- so far removed we can be from the workings of just a few decades ago -- now i can blog moments before class and it may even be received -- before, during mimeograph, a few weeks and hearing from a writer in France -- absolutely groundbreaking for those times - the ability to respond to last weeks happenings and move forward -- "more important than the quality of their contents was the fact of these magazines' abundance and speed"... appearing "imbued with a vivid purity of intention which it is nearly impossible to conceive of creating in today's publications" perhaps because of two reasons-- the mimeograph revolution (such excitment and impetus to print!) as well as the sense of community and the primal revolution so to speak -- all these great minds and voices doing something with it all -- pre total t.v., mp3 cell phone blackberry and the mind numbing mind screwing doctrines of present day technological let-someone-else-take-care-of-the-laundary-- have minds turned to pale channel clickers? do less people read? do less people care? or... is it just the reverse -- now with blogs the few people that do care are launching again the same vision initially launched with mimeograph way back when... onward with the primal revolution please
