When Things are more important than People

This was the most important impact of the Industrial Revolution. The huge event that dominated the 19th Century, and still affects us today.

My hometown of Ft. Madison, Iowa, was an Industrial city. It had Manufacturing on East side of town, with the Sheaffer Pen Company. And the Santa Fe Railroad on the West side of town. Back in the Fifties, there were lots of jobs - good jobs. All this is now gone - and will not come back.

Yesterday, I was hit by this article in the NY Times Infowars and China’s Great Firewall. The writer is a young Chinese woman - and she knows what she is talking about.

The Chinese have had their own Industrial Revolution - and now are part of the Computer Revolution. And are feeling the conflicts between the two.
