technology wake up call |

"My own biggest mistake in the last 20 years was that I
designed solutions for problems that people didn't yet
know they had"
Once called the smartest man in silicon valley, even though
he lives in Aspen, Bill Joy remains among the few to
understand this world we live in.
Bill isn't the only one who's made mistakes in the last 20
years. Haven't we all? We've created wonderful things. No
doubt. The world has changed. We walk today among with
wonderful new shoes, through many labyrinths, through
modern cities that didn't exist only a few decades ago.
Yet we continue to stumble, to walk funny in a way, that our
long ears haven't yet heard; we won't see it, we don't hear
it. But it isn't it everywhere?
Who had enough of passwords? Who's had enough of
viruses? Spam? Enough! Who's ready to say, forget all of
this. Forget everything.
We want a world without these things. We want a world
without anti-spam because we want a world without spam.
Rid the world of viruses and we don't need anti-spam.
We want a world without these problems, a world when we
can finally create, we can finally celebrate.
This day is near. I hear it coming.
