Our Transition from Industrialization to the Computer

This has been a difficult transition, and may never be made successfully.

The Industrial Revolution took hundreds of years and changed who we were. And a big part of this change was the inability to recognize that this change had happened. We went through a big change but were not aware of it, because the change was so big and so enticing. Who could resist a car with a huge engine and tail fins?

This was true for most of us - who are not interested in the Computer now. Computer people, of course, are. And they are busy telling anyone who will listen about their latest inventions.  They are aware of this transition because they are making it.

They are interested in the Computer because it is them. Take a look at this Consensus Mechanisms video. Aren't these computers acting like people?

Networked Computers are acting more and more like persons. So much so, they may replace us.
