Software is Powerful Stuff

It is the most powerful force to hit us in a long time. But we have not realized this, and continue to carry on, as though it never happened. Not very smart.

I learned about Software, because I became part of the Computer Industry, in the Eighties and Nineties - because I needed a job. Software is the stuff that runs the computers - that now run the world. Simple as that.

Out of curiosity, I dabbled in Software - and got a feel for what it is. And I still dabble in it - and continue to be amazed by it. And amazed by how little most people are interested in it.

This is the point, that needs to be driven home. People, and their Software - now run the world. Both of them together.. A situation most people cannot understand, in the least.

Software is now where all the good jobs are.- because that is where the money is. But most people are not interested in it - and avoid knowing about it. A huge gap has arisen, between Ordinary people - and Software people.

The Ordinary people are being squeezed economically - making less and less. While the Software people are making more and more - because that is where the money is..

Ordinary people cannot understand this - and have become paranoid, blaming all kinds of things for their problems. And accepting authoritative rulers, who promise to solve their problems for them.
