Today is the first of a new era, a new age. The change is going to be spectacular and the pace frenzied as we embark into a new frontier.
All of the 20th century has done nothing but prepare us for the monsterous steps we are about to take. We thought that the silicone age brought us the greatness of internet pornography and Ebay, of online chat and text messaging.
Our current usage of the computers we have is akin to cavemen racing stone wheels down a hill...it's nonsense playing around with a life changing technology. It's not useless, not by a mile, because the games we are playing is giving massive monetary injections into the computer industry, creating more and more powerful things.
Since we are so enamored with our new toys, we are willing to trade hundreds or even thousands of hours of our labor for new computers, which provides a massive profit motive for them to make them ever more powerful, compact, and complex.
By this date, machines have become powerful enough to be useful on a scale much greater than we currently view. Computers have added to, or at best multiplied mankind's abilities. We can build things much faster, design things much greater, and communicated our ideas at much greater ease...but these things have only enhanced what we are already able to do.
This date will begin to bring change with exponential speed and greatness. If you are young enough to live to see the changes that today will bring, you are indeed lucky.
The silicone age was but a short transition to the new age beginning today!
