I saw a talk given by Bill Gates Senior (HIS dad) the other day.
("Toledo tit parade? What kind of play is that?"
"Ees very VISUAL senior"
Pardone that slight diversion from topic. It had nothing to do with
anything. Monty Python just popped into my head.)
Where was I.
Saw him speak, and at the moment I found Gates and what he had to say
very impressive, which goes to show what a fucking idiot I am. The
person who took me to this is a fucking idiot so there you are I
guess. He's my dad, I love him, but he's a fucking idiot. And a pink
boy, non-payed-up and so when the saucers land he's toast. What can
you do.
Over the days since then I have examined what he said in detail and
realized slowly dawningly that all of it was utter crap. He
approaches "Bob" himself in convincing-sounding but ultimately
addle-cocked drivel per cubic minute. None of what he said on finer
examination holds any water at all.
(And speaking of junior high ... I remember when I was in junior
college, I hung around a little with this kind of weird group who
hung around in the rec center. They were all real social rejects,
subgenius types. I really didn't give a fuck about them overall,
there was this blonde girl, this pudgy guy, and this girl with dyed
hair that were the center of this outcast group. But the dyed-hair
girl just utterly slayed me. I was completely infaturated with her.
I had a horrible crush. I still remember her and her completely inept
reddish dye job on top of dark hair, which stuck out at all odd
angles, her coke-bottle-bottom glasses and pinned-up jeans, her
boiled-lobster physique, and the weird little scared glances she cast
at the world out of the corners of her eyes. I was desperately in
love with her. I wanted to fuck her until we made noises like
squeaking balloons.
She seemed to avoid me, and so I assumed I just didn't FIT IN with her
kind of off-the-wall type, and so I didn't push it..
Later the blonde one, very pretty in a kind of "I'm blonde, so I KNOW
you think I'm pretty" way, hit on me. Somewhere or other along the
line, I asked about this girl I was totally obssessed with. She (the
blonde) said "I set her straight; she had a terrible crush on you,
but I told her a guy like HIM would NEVER go for someone like YOU"
I seem to have diverged again. Sorry, this will all come together in
the end.)
One of the things he said was that all the NEW money in our economy
was/would be coming from new technology.
I really wanted to believe that. I would love to believe that it
isn't all going to hell in a handbasket. I -did- for a little while
following his speech.
But it has been nagging at me since then. I have eaten the sour one
too.
What technology? What money?
Biotech? (That was one of the "new technologies" Gates mentioned)
How much does that really affect the cash flow in -your- life? Of
anybody you know?
I mean, no doubt there is some big money there, somewhere, but how
exactly can an economy be based on something almost nobody uses? How
exactly is Fred Shmerdlap who works at 7-11 getting money hand over
first from biotech?
Obviously, biotech jobs are there which wouldn't be otherwise, but
where is the money for that supposed to be -coming- from? How are we
supposed to be sustaining and growing an economy on something that
doesn't touch anybody's lives?
In other words, where is 'new technology' actually affecting anybody's
lives? Where is it actually giving any of us anything that has some
value which would validate the 'new money'?
Well there's computers of course. Most people have computers in their
lives or their jobs.
The problem is, for the most part, computers don't -generate- any
value at all. If you're using a computer to edit video or write music
or something then there's some genuine added value.
But for the most part, the 'computer revolution' has been exactly the
opposite, in theory.
In theory, according to the Microsoft/Pink model which has pushed
computers, computers are supposed to make things more efficient.
Like look at the mecha gloppo superstores everywhere, like Fred
Meyer's or Walmart. They depend for their survival on being able to
maintain a gigantic, highly varied inventory. Without computers,
there's no way they could do it.
But in doing so, we're actually taking value -out- of the economy. If
computers don't eliminate work (and thus JOBS) they haven't done what
they are supposed to do. While this might "leave people free to do
more important things", it doesn't provide those "more important
things".
By way of analogy, look at the MP3/copy protection war. The irony of
this is that it is a perfect example of what computers -should- do.
By making the process of distributing media super-efficient, they
threaten to obsolesce a whole industry.
BUT WHY ARE THEY COMPLAINING? ALL THOSE RECORD COMPANY EXECS ARE NOW
FREE TO DO MORE IMPORTANT THINGS!
The only reason the MP3 thing is seen as a failure rather than a
success of New Technology is that it wasn't born IN the belly of the
beast; it wasn't properly spin-doctored and sanitized and presented
as a BIG WIN.
But even if it had been Microsoft who had invented P2P file swapping,
and even if they had put some kind of price tag on it, the basic
effect would be the same. It -eliminates- money from the economy.
So I really found myself wondering, how has -any- technology in the
last ten years really -added- anything to people's lives? What do we
have now that we didn't then?
And then it dawned on me.
INTERNET PORN!
Think about it. Most of us older timers, what kind of porn did we
have growing up? Copies of Hustler or Playboy we nicked from our
dads. Underwear ads in the Sears catalog or the sunday supplement.
And what kind of porn did we have to look forward to? -Fortunately- I
was born too late to have to deal with that, but the vague impression
I get is that people had to make journeys into the seedier parts of
the inner city to sleazy porn shops, pray you didn't get seen, try not
to brush up against the -other- perverts, their clothes dripping with
unidentifiable gunk, to get -anything- racier than Playboy.
And the impression I get is that it was all fairly lame. My memory of
porno movies I saw as a teenager is that they were pretty lame. I
guess you had to kind of take what you could get.
I can get -more-, -better- porn in an hour on the Internet than most
perverts could have accumulated in a -lifetime- in olden days, just
surfing amateur sites and .binaries groups alone.
Anyway. So maybe there is hope for the future after all.

Yes, you are at the very threshold of it.
Computers have yielded MORE PR0N than anyone can imagine. But let's also
take on the WORK aspect of computers, too.
Used to be you rolled up your sleeves and hit that adding machine, filing
cabinet, or walked the aisles of the warehouse and carefully WROTE DOWN
where everything was so's you could find it later. All that is totally
unnecessary now.
Nobody actually DOES such things. A couple RFID tags and a little Lawson,
SAP, or PeopleSoft and it's over.
Back to Pr0n, however.
If you wanted to see juicy cum filled pussies prior to the internet, mostly,
you had to actually undress the woman and get her juicy and cream filled all
by YOURSELF. Now, pretty much, just like work, there's no need to even go
to the bother.
Ummm...now I forget my point, but anyways that's in a nutshell what COMPUTER
technology has brought us all. The icing without the cake OR the baker.
About the best thing to come out of ALL technology, IMHO, will be the
science of Quantum Tunnelling. This is where, by arranging prisms properly,
you can get photons OUT of one end BEFORE they pour in the other. German
scientists have actually xmitted Mozart symphonies into the future and
played them back.
Photons kind of like John Kerryons, but I diverge.
I predict that by 2008, major telecommunications companies will employ VAST
BANKS of cascaded quantum tunnels and THEN they will be able to ELIMINATE
THAT DAMN PAUSE when Geraldo Rivera is covering the slaughter in the Mid
East. That would be a positive BOON to humanity, no more 8 second delay for
the damn satellite.
Naturally, by then, video pirates will use quantum tunnelling to record
major motion pictures BEFORE THEY ARE COMPLETED for illegal distribution.
And in SO DOING, they will prove that they are perfectly legal because they
snagged them before the intellectual work was even finished!
Or somethin'...

Oh how I wish this were true.
The number of times per working day I find myself doing boring
repetitive jobs with a computer is troubling. Perhaps that's a failure
of the hardware/software designers, perhaps its just me being inept in
my use of these devices - but I've grown up with them and understand
the software life cycle til I'm pink in the face, so I'm loath to
think It's a failure on my part.
Finally, it recently dawned on me that technology merely has replaced
one form of toil with another.
Think about the telecoms/microchip revolution: smaller and smaller,
more and more capable and interconnected devices. And what do these
little knobs-and-dials do? They blur the dividing line between work
and pleasure. No matter where you are now, you have very little excuse
not be working. Used to be that you could send your time on a business
trip drinking the in-flight booze or eating the Pullman lunch, but now
the office gives you these little devices and expects you to polish
your presentation-turd to the nth degree before you get to actually
make it.
Conversely, however, never have office machines so enabled one to
waste time as before - either on blantent browsing of the web, usenet,
mail etc etc. Or again, fritzing with some work product to the nth
degree in MS Office (e.g making your fonts and borders dance with
joy).
But conversely again: imagine you are a home worker, because broadband
now allows your domestic 'puter to be a corporate limb. Work intrudes
into the home. But flip that yet again, and how much actual quality
work gets done by these worker-shut-in-drones?

"Modern times" is better. Surely you're old enough to remember the
shame and degradation involved in telling some sweet, thoroughly hot
priestess of love that you were a data processing professional (a
programmer, a sysadmin, or a project manager or data entry person), only
to watch her gather up her clothes and run screaming, naked, into the
night.
Ahh! Those were the good old days.
