Depression, Software, and the Virus

This is going to take some explaining, and I am not sure I am up to it. 

I will start with the first part: Depression, a mental state that is all too common. It is caused by our Modern Life that our cave-dwelling minds cannot understand, and do not want to understand. 

The result was the Industrial Revolution (several revolutions, in fact) we can barely understand or cope with. This produced two World Wars and the Bomb. 

This situation was made worse by the Computer and its Software. This made us smart (with its Artificial Intelligence) and stupid at the same time. And Depressed. 

Things could not get worse, we were sure, Bur we were hit by a Virus, that made it hard for us to work together.
