Merry Xmas

GOD JUL MEANS MERRY CHRISTMAS in Swedish, ”written in windows” :) It's the facade of Swedish State Power Board HQ i Racksta, Stockholm, a company I used to work for some years ago as project assistant.

Remeber that without electric power there would be no, computers, digital technology, TVs, telephones, radios, etc. etc. I'm right now reading McLuhans Media where he claim that the content in media equals the media format. The electric power is determening the electronic media. So the highest media power in Sweden is the State Power Board Vattenfall. (Please click image to se full view.)
