Love of the Latest

 Not everyone has this passion, but for some it is overwhelming, and they will do anything to get it. 

This what caused the Computer boom of the Nineties. People did not know what the Internet was, but they knew it was the Latest Thring and it would make a more profitable world. They were right. but not for the reasons they anticipated. 

The Internet created a new world they could not understand in the least and would drive them nuts. 

Those that could understand it (such as Google) became very rich. What about the rest. (90 percent of the population?) 

Tuf shit, that's what.
