THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS:. AN OBSERVER'S NOTEBOOK. BY. JON BARNES.. "CARGO CULTS"...FIRST, A HISTORY LESSON ...... DURING WORLD WAR II, AN INTEREST ING..SOCIAL EXPERIMENT TOOK PLACE IN THE ..SOUTH PACIFIC. AS AMERICAN FORCES..RO OTED OUT JAPANESE INSTALLATIONS..ISLAND BY ISLAND, GI'S SOMETIMES CAME..INTO CON TACT WITH PRIMITIVE TRIBES..THAT HAD SOM EHOW REMAINED ISOLATED..FROM THE WAR. M OST OF THESE MEETINGS..WENT WELL ENOUGH, FOR LIKE THEIR..COUNTERPARTS IN THE EUR OPEAN THEATRE,..THESE TROOPS TREATED NON PARTISANS..WELL BY SHARING THEIR RATIONS AND..MEDICAL SUPPLIES... MOSTLY, THOUG H, THE NATIVES WERE..IGNORED. BUT THE N ATIVES WATCHED THE..SOLDIERS WITH INTENS E CURIOSITY AS THE..AMERICANS PUSHED TOW ARD THEIR MISSION..OBJECTIVES. ESPECIAL LY THEY WATCHED..WHEN THE SOLDIERS RADIO ED FOR..AIRLIFTED SUPPLIES... IN THE FO LLOWING YEARS, AFTER BOTH..AMERICANS AND JAPENESE HAD LEFT,..SOME TRIBES FORMED "CARGO CULTS", IN..WHICH THE NATIVES CRE ATED ELABORATE..RITUALS IMITATING THE AC TIONS OF THE..STRANGE MEN THEY HAD ENCOU NTERED. THEY..EVEN CONSTUCTED MOCK RADIO S OUT OF..BAMBOO TO SEND THEIR PRAYERS F OR.."CARGO" TO THEIR GODS. BUT THE GREA T..BIRDS THAT CARRIED THESE BLESSINGS HA D..GONE, NEVER TO RETURN... CLASS DISMI SSED. WHAT IS THE..SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS HISTORICAL ASIDE?.. FOR ONE THING, IT SERVES AS AN APT..METAPHOR FOR MY RELATI ONSHIP WITH..COMPUTERS. FOR ANOTHER, IT RAISES THE..KINDS OF QUESTIONS THROUGH THE..LOOKING GLASS SEEKS TO EXPLORE....T RUE CONFESSIONS....... NO MATTER WHERE I'VE GONE, COMPUTERS..HAVE BEEN HARD ON MY HEELS. YET..SOMEHOW, I'VE ALWAYS ESCA PED HAVING TO..USE THEM. FOR EXAMPLE, I WENT TO HIGH..SCHOOL IN A RURAL ARKANSAS TOWN. THE..YEAR AFTER I LEFT, THEY BOUG HT AN..APPLE TO USE WITH THE UPPER LEVEL ..MATH AND PHYSICS STUDENTS... WHILE I DID TAKE A FORTRAN COURSE IN..COLLEGE, W E USED CARD READERS, SO IT..DOESN'T REAL LY COUNT. STANDING AROUND..WHILE A TWO- FOOT HIGH STACK OF CARDS..IS READ, THEN WAITING AROUND FOR A..COMPILE FROM AN OV ERWORKED MAINFRAME..ISN'T REALLY COMPARA BLE TO USING A..PERSONAL COMPUTER... I' LL STATE ONCE AND FOR ALL,..THOUGH, THAT THIS COURSE HAD NOTHING..TO DO WITH MY CHANGING MY MAJOR TO..ENGLISH. RIGHT... BUT EVEN AS A STUDENT OF THE..HUMANITI ES, COMPUTERS WEREN'T FAR..BEHIND. I EV EN WROTE A PROPOSAL..REQUESTING WORD PRO CESSORS FOR THE..WRITING LAB WHERE I TUT ORED. TEN IBM..PC'S ARRIVED THE SEMESTE R AFTER I..GRADUATED... I EVEN MARRIED A PROGRAMMER WHO..SOMETIMES TALKS ABOUT HER WORK. I..LISTEN POLITELY, OF COURSE , NOD IN THE..RIGHT PLACES, AND PRAY THA T MY EYES..WON'T GLAZE LIKE THEY DO WHEN I WATCH..TOO MUCH MTV... BUT WHEN I CA ME TO LOADSTAR, THE..LONG CHASE WAS OVER . I WASN'T..SURPRISED. AFTER ALL, FATE IS FATE;..OEDIPUS HAD TO KILL LAIUS AT THE..CROSSROADS; FAUSTUS HAD TO PAY THE. .DEVIL HIS DUE; JOR-EL HAD TO SAVE HIS.. INFANT SON FROM EXPLODING KRYPTON... FA TE IS HARDWIRED. WORKING WITH..COMPUTER S WAS MY DESTINY. IT IS YOURS..ALSO.... MORE TRUE CONFESSIONS....... HERE AT L OADSTAR, I FIND THAT MY..RELATIONSHIP WI TH COMPUTERS MIRRORS..THAT OF THOSE ABOR IGINAL ELECTRICAL..ENGINEERS AND THEIR B AMBOO RADIO SETS...I CONSTANTLY USE COMP UTERS WHEN..CREATING THE TEXT FOR LOADST AR, YET AM..IGNORANT OF MOST OF THE CONC EPTS..UNDERLYING THEIR OPERATION... IGN ORANCE HAS ITS VIRTUES OF COURSE...I'M A N INVALUABLE RESOURCE FOR THE..PROGRAMME RS; IF THE PROGRAM IS..USER-FRIENDLY ENO UGH SO EVEN I CAN USE..IT, THEY CAN BE S URE THAT ANY OF THE..HIGHER MAMMALS CAN DO LIKEWISE...----------<ARTICLE CONTINU ED>--------.
