positive huh? anybody else wondering what the doomsday clock is going to reset to next month? kinda scary with all sabre rattling lately...
smart phones are much more worrisome than most think, they are basically a supercomputer in your pocket. my 1st computer was a Commodore 64 that we "built" in the hs library. had no programming, we had to write like 100 line code to get you name to scroll down the screen or some stupid shit like that. things sure have come a long way in a micro blip on the evolutionary time scale. forget about the kids, think about what world despots can and will do with it. very scary indeedI think technology is the scapegoat for the issue. I like tech! I was a early adopter of computers. I remember buying my first IBM XT after building a couple of really wonky computers. That XT was loaded, two 20 meg hard drives, RGB video and monitor, two floppys. As much ram as you could fit on the motherboad. In a week the warranty was null and void as I made a copper heat sink for it and replaced the clock generator on the motherboard to overclock it. And at a month It was water cooled with a waterblock I made and used what we called a bong for evaporative cooling and a car heater core with a fish tank pump to circ the loop. Maybe the smartphone is to simple?????
