The Gap between Most people and Software people

This Gap worries me, but evidently, no one else.

Software people do not think this is a problem. There are plenty of young people, who can understand Computers and Software - why worry about the rest? 

I worry because the rest is most of the world's population, who are part of the Computer Economy but do not understand it. These are two worlds: and they are not communicating. 

We can see this most clearly in our Shopping Centers, which anyone can see clearly enough - and the Computer Cloud which no one can see, but everything depends on. 

And the Corona Virus, which we cannot see either, but is devastating us. 

In either case, a lack of understanding is killing us. 

These two worlds operate on different time schedules. In one we are animals, with an animal's complicated bodies and minds. that operate in milliseconds. In the other, we are Silicon, which operates in microseconds.
