let’s put all the cards on the table, Cringley is a huge tool, ok!?!
With that being said, there is some truly great things in this video that are a pure result of the 60s mindset. Although not the same today, don’t make a generalization that today’s world can’t do that. It might be harder to accomplish, but it is very possible.
These two guys at the finish explained to me why people today are doing things: to get rich and not only for the passion and make a difference in this world. Today is all about money and that’s what really matters. I feel so sad about it because there’s no genius like in 70’s and 80’s in technology, sports and arts. Just make junk things or scandals, be part of any reality show and suddenly you became an icon. C’mon, let’s wake up!!

“greed is good!!”

TRUE THAT!
I think it’s interesting that computers started out as big simple calculators, then went through a silly honeymoon period of geek hobbies like playing music and running train sets, and then went BACK to the serious original intentions of the calculator stuff with the spreadsheet.
I wonder what took them so long to find that. Maybe like big kids, they were just too excited with the lights and sounds of a new toy .
