Not understanding the Computer would be understandable, it's a brand-new thing like we have never seen before.
But this attitude of being determined to not understand it is alarming. Why has this social bias showed up so strongly, without being noticed?
By understanding it, I mean noticing its effect on people, which has been profound.
The Computer has changed who we are, in a way that makes it impossible for us to notice this.
This puts me in an awkward position: I can understand the Computer. But I am surrounded by people who cannot, and don't want to.
This not understanding is not complete, many people can understand it a little. But only a little, and nothing on earth will make them learn more.
There are two social movements going on at the same time: rapid software development, and a strong movement against it. The first is conscious, the second is unconscious.
