I started playing with computers in the late 70’s while at college. The university of Alaska LAN system was the highest tech that I had ever had the chance to noodle with, and I learned how to database, as well as send email to people on the Fairbanks campus, and other campuses. It wasn’t til another decade passed that I experienced dial-up.
That was an experience that I was happy to forgo, and it took too long to be foregone.
“Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” And drag the rest of us who do know history along, whether or not we wish for that ride. The problem, as I see it is that there are some who live in a confirmation bubble, and some who don’t. Communication between such groups approaches impossible. And these bubbles exist because the world is inexorably changing, and beloved and vaunted institutions are therefore crumbling. Before fighting to go back, look at what is being built. It may take a bit, those new ways of thinking are currently in the minority.
Why not “All of the above”?
