The Canyon Man And His Fight Against Modern Technology
By now, most everybody understands that modernity is here to stay and there’s no going back. Modern technologies are everywhere one cares to look, and it’s even been rumored that the Amish are going to be putting their horses in the latest footgear that’s designed to get more than 50 miles per bag of oats out of them. There’s no escaping technology, it seems.
All kidding aside about the Amish, it’s still a fact that there’s one guy running around — who last updated his wardrobe when Dick Clark was a swinging young man fresh from Philadelphia — around the neighborhood. Call him ‘Canyon Man, ‘ and make sure to also call him a mechanic to help him repair the 40-year-old heap in front of his house he refuses to part with, even to the point of wanting to be buried in it.
It’s easy enough to pick this guy out around the neighborhood. For one, he has a leather watch band on his wrist that was given to him in appreciation of all his service after the end of World War I. For another, he is the guy who constantly rails against all these newfangled doodads that kids are sporting on their own wrists these days, claiming that they’re actually mind-enslavement tools.
This man is also completely horrified by the thought of looking at any sort of television that doesn’t come wrapped in a huge wooden console that probably was made from the oak timbers of a Revolutionary war-era sailing ship that once carried John Paul Jones around, with an equally elderly picture tube, to boot. It’s kind of disquieting to think of this, though it’s also very true.
For those considering tying Canyon Man down and gifting him with a custom LCD TV, forget about it. Not only wouldn’t he even come close to touching it, but he probably would go into a catatonic trance if he heard the words ‘digital video disc player.’ At a minimum, he would go frothy-mouthed with rage at being forced to watch even a video cassette, not that he could probably announce the word anyway.
Now that digital video signals have completely taken over the airwaves, it’s probably a fair bet that Canyon Man is sitting in his house pounding on the side of that big old console TV wondering how to get all that snow off the picture. If the words ‘digital converter box’ ever pass his lips, it will be time to wonder if the Second Coming has arrived. Certainly, a TV with LED backlight technology will forever be beyond his grasp, both intellectually and morally.
For those standing on the sidelines — fully ensconced in all things digital and wondering why Canyon Man continues to tilt at his imaginary windmills — take comfort in knowing that he is out there acting somewhat like a canary in a coal mine, sitting in his 40-year-old beater mobile and sporting his studio 54 leisure suits. If aliens ever decide to baffle us through digital waves, he’ll be there to warn us that they’re on to us, and that’s a fairly comforting thought, it must be admitted.
