SHIFT HAPPENS
Regardless of how insignificant you think this information is, this must have taken quite a while to compile. Nice work. It was very interesting to me, and I agree totally. Technology is evolving much faster than human evolution. I read this whilst waiting on something to load, from one of the 3 jobs I’m working on, all at once (at night on a long weekend) whilst listening to PodCasts about technology. This never would have happened even 5 years ago. There must be segregation happening (not just between rich and poor) between technofiles and technophobes (or the humans who can’t afford recent tech’quip). Are the people who “live” in technology carving a new branch/path?
Consider mobile phones (G3, 3mp cameras etc.), TVs (LCD, OLED, hi-def etc.), games consoles (multi thread cell processors), exponential computer power/speed growth rate etc. Everything that’s common place now, did not exist 5 years ago. Human comprehension does not move as fast. So if you are young and growing up with these technologies it’s great, no problems, but when you eventually have to work (prob 2 jobs), and work like a technofreak cyborg, for crap wages because all of the jobs have gone to previously “third world” countries. WTF are you going to do then? Become a farmer again?, with no knowledge of nature/land, how to “make“ food (that doesn't have a "Mc" stuck in front of it). A transition is happening, and faster than you may think.
The next 3 gen is FUBAR (oh look I have devolved into technobable).
Thats my rant’n’rave over. Yay, I feel better : )
Oh BTW, I love this technoshift. Cyber me up baby.
