The Nineties were a crazy period in Silicon Valley.
In fact, the whole period 1980-2010 was crazy. Hundreds of computer companies were reduced to four: Apple, Amazon. Google, and Microsoft.
A single programming paradigm, OOP. was expanded into hundreds.
I missed the boat here, If I had learned the Java Programming language, I would still be back there and raking in the bucks. Instead of living off my Social Security income in Costa Rica. Java kept improving itself until you could do practically anything with it.
And the Common Person was reduced to Idiocy.
What else could he (or she) become, in such an incredibly complex situation?
This question has to be taken seriously. It seems like, as people become more technically advanced, they become more socially retarded.
We need to look at this more closely: what is going on here? Does this have to happen?
This has happened before when Germany, Italy, and Japan all succumbed to Fascism. These were all advanced countries, in a number of ways. including literature.
But something new has been added to today's mix: the Computer. How will people react this time?
We are in the middle of a huge experiment, called Globalization. And the results, so far, are not promising.
We have become something different, but not necessarily better,
