somewhere in time


Everybody will agree that some stuffs used to be really better in the past. Instead of being quality the most important issue, nowadays they (of market) prefer to invest in quantity. Their only aim is sales.

For instance… Who remember the delicious (old) ice cream sold in tin cans? It used to come with peaces of the fruit, such as strawberries, even as Neapolitan flavour! Likewise the 'São Luís' cookies were better before… included its fillings. Marvellous.

The goods that would last a whole life, has a short-last  nowadays. It’s not interesting producing something which is not going to be replaced as soon as possible. Finally, as a consequence of this disorderly increased of wasted stuffs, the garbage problem is devastating the world.


something impossible at these days

While visiting the Telecommunication Museum, in Oi Futuro, I’ve realized how our society has changed since 50’s. However, I’m not referring only about technology - the new phone systems and the current small equipments.

Until 1970, for example, Nara Leão’s name was written on the phonebook of Rio - giving inclusively her address on Delfim Moreira (not bad…!). In the same way, Vinicius de Moraes and also Tom Jobim were there. This kind of exposition is not possible (and allowed) anymore…  At these days, contact with celebrities only on internet - by emails, through their profiles on Facebook and Twitter or personal websites.
