The Violent Reaction to the Information Economy

Strange things have been happening recently, and this is one of them. The Computer has created a new world - but most people do not want to be in it!

To make its new world, the Computer first had to destroy parts of the world that it inherited. Parts that most people had strongly identified with. These changes hit them right in the gut, bypassing their minds entirely. 

For this reason, they reacted violently, and unpredictably. As observers, we can only note the violence, and how irrational it is. They are out to destroy - what they think, is destroying them!

I can write this calmly, sitting in front of my laptop - and tell myself, that all this will go on, and cannot be prevented.
