Is Art Limited?

[Fretty]

I've had this discussion numerous time with numerous people. Most people tend to argue my views (which are basically the same as most views listed above) at first, but after a short discussion on the topic and it becomes clear that I have won them over, at least to a certain degree. Now to be fair, I have obviously thought about this topic before ever bringing it up to someone, so I have a nice head start in the supporting arguments area of the discussion, while they were basically just blind sided by the whole idea.

I too have thought about writing a book, but the same fear that Slamz had is the same one I had, on top of the fact that no one reads anymore (so it would basically be pointless to tell a story on a medium that is rarely used).

I also blame the internet. As stated before, when there use to be 4 channels on TV and now we're in the hundreds upon hundreds, seeing templated and reused unoriginal ideas even more frequently, the internet only adds to this. Now everyone feels like they have the right, scratch that, the NEED to put up their random oh-so-original "art" for everyone to see, so we get even more flooding of the useless crap we've all seen before but with some new "twist" on it to claim it's originality.
