The Worst Part is in Control

And we don't want to know this.

Just when we need to be our smartest, we we are strongly encouraged to be stupid, and know nothing. Including, most importantly, that we are being destroyed this way.

"You are being so pessimistic! You may be saying." True, but some good things are happening too. Right where you are not noticing them, in the Computer ecosystem.

I am sitting here, looking at my laptop, that is displaying a number of tabs, on the Chrome browser. Each one of them, contains something important and useful - such as the Blogger app I am using to write this. And another app that is teaching me the Java programming language. And another, where I can listen to a course on Dante's Divine Comedy. And an opinion article in the NY Times ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’ Is a Myth.

But most people are not seeing this, because they are looking at their Phones, that don't show them much, because their display is so small. The world has become divided into people who use Laptops, and people who use Phones - to get the vital information that we all need.
