modernization as an artist

The Futurist Manifesto was written more than one-hundred years ago yet we could still very easily believe it was written today. The 11th point seems all too familiar. Marinetti proposed many radical ideas, many of which have a satirical voice to them, but a few struck me personally as an artist. We live in a machine world, more advanced than ever before and it will only increase exponentially just as he explains in his manifesto.    We're all young artist and idealist who have instant information with in finger's length, and without a backbone we have no direction.  I believe this is and was the central idea behind Marinetti's vision of modernization .
