I understand, completely... Which is why it's such a waste... Like SY, then visionaries like Richard D. James, technology was very much a big part of the vision and voice of these people; like Kubrick's technical genius and Welles' before him...
To paraphrase something or other; never has so much benefitted so little people... It's as if... Pattern recognition is on the run; Derrick Mays once said; Singapore can never make a Beatles or a Rolling Stones; you ain't got no rebel alliance; if you're so comfortable; there is no reason to change the status quo... No one seems motivated enough; there's always reasons and justifications upon each other...
Computers can think; at the speed of atoms; but they can never feel...
