The Computer has Made a New Society

Any new technology creates its own people - and rewards those people well. Abraham Lincoln was a Railroad Lawyer - and used that as a stepping stone to the American presidency.

After he was assassinated, his embalmed body was transported, via a series of railroads - back to Springfield, Illinois, where he still rests.

Amazon is now an American success story, because of the Computer. Because the Computer made its own audience, people who spend a lot of time on their computers - and who feel comfortable shopping online. Pointing their mouse at what they want to buy.

This is pretty amazing, when you stop to think about it. Most Americans shop at a shopping center - were they can see the many things being sold - and see all the other shoppers also. It is a group experience.

The Computer user only has his computer for company - but no one finds that strange.
