Well, it depends on what the point is I guess. I'm not saying that it
should not be used just because it is not necessary, a lot of great things
are unecessary and even pointless depending upon one's perspective. That
is part of being human. I would probably use this technology myself if I
had access to it. I would much rather be in the studio, though. Most
importantly, if it can bring money and awareness to the dance community,
I'm all for it. I just feel that people should be aware of the possible
results of incorporating technology and not always be so positive about
it.
