Howdy This picture is at the top of the Conitec "gallery" page as part of the page's layout. So, what is this? Conitec's secret underground headquarters? The control room of a nuclear submarine? The main news room of a tv network?  Reminds me of this!

Well, I thought with some 'doctoring', I could use such an image as a symbol to explain why, regardless of previous data on common practices, individuals of one type jm, should and / or do eventually block communication channels between individuals of another type td.
Amazingly, trying to force such an image into an already damned exhibit, seems to damn it further. Potentially, an increase in damnation is both a plus and a minus short term. However, the resulting confusion is intolerable for long periods.
That image is undeniable 'proof' (of the Con Tech, or the Tech of Con for some) if you know what I mean?
(This might be denied later.)
(The image does not promote the use of cryptic lunacy prose though subliminal suggestion. However, after putting such images into primary focus for extended periods, individuals of a certain type might seem to have more episodes of 'rational thought decay' . Of course, any such side effects are probably nothing more than temporary faults in perceptions of external observers.)
It is a conceptual image of a 'thought poison factory', produced in such a way that, implicitly, the image itself should seem more poisonous to thought than any poison produced by the portion of factory elements shown in the image.
It it is definitely not that, rather.

Goodness testDummy, take your medicine!
I wish I could jump back in time and peek around the wall there waving with my PDA just when the picture was shoot.

It seems like the picture of the "home computer" could actually be real since visions of the "future" were often way too enthusiastic about scientific progress in that form. Remember what people in the 60s thought the 1980s would look like?  The television monitor in the upper right-hand corner is suspect, though... it looks like it could have been added later since its coloring and shading are a little bit awkward compared to the rest of the scene.

Based upon the text underneath the picture I would guess that the picture itself is from the early 1950's according to the filename its 1954
