BACK TO CARGO CULTS....... SERIOUSLY, WHY THIS CONFESSION OF..IGNORANCE? IT' S NOT BECAUSE I'M..OVERLY CONTRITE-- LAC K OF EGO HAS..NEVER BEEN ONE OF MY FAULT S. RATHER..WE SHOULD ASK TO WHAT EXTENT WE ARE..ALL NEOPHYTES, ALL IGNORANT OF MANY..OF THE BASIC CONCEPTS THAT FORM TH E..FOUNDATIONS OF MODERN LIFE... WE CON FRONT THE IMAGE OF SOUTH..PACIFIC ISLAND ERS SIGNALLING AIRPLANES..VIA BAMBOO RAD IOS WITH AMUSEMENT, AND..PERHAPS A LITTL E EMBARASSMENT. AFTER..ALL, THEY NEVER KNEW THAT THE JOKE WAS..ON THEM, THAT TH EIR CAPACITY FOR..UNDERSTANDING HAD BEEN PREDEFINED BY..STONE AXES JUST AS SUREL Y AS OURS HAVE..BEEN BY TELECOMMUNICATIO NS... YET MODERN CULTURE FORCES ALL OF US..INTO CARGO CULTS, TO BE USERS OF..TE CHNOLOGIES WE DON'T UNDERSTAND. THE..ON LY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN US AND THE..TRIBES MEN IS THAT OUR DEVICES USUALLY..WORK... OTHERWISE, FOR MOST OF US, THE..ARTIFA CTS-- THE TELEVISIONS, THE..AUTOMOBILES, THE COMPUTERS-- THAT WE..USE IN EVERYDA Y LIFE COULD JUST AS..WELL BE MADE OF BA MBOO AND POWERED BY..STRONG MAGIC... TH E REASON'S STRAIGHTFORWARD ENOUGH-..THER E IS SIMPLY TOO MUCH TO KNOW,..AFTER THE INFORMATION EXPLOSION MADE..POSSIBLE BY THE COMPUTER... WE ARE FORCED TO SPECI ALIZE, AND THE..GULF BETWEEN SHAKESPEARI AN SCHOLAR AND..COMPUTER PROGRAMMER CAN BE AS GREAT AS..ANY BETWEEN STONE-AGE TR IBESMAN AND..MODERN SOLDIER... WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS OF..INTRINSIC IGNORANC E? WHAT DO WE DO IF..PROFESSIONS BECOME COMMUNITIES UNTO..THEMSELVES, UNABLE TO COMMUNICATE..ANYTHING MEANINGFUL TO OTH ER GROUPS?.. PERHAPS, THOUGH, COMPUTERS CAN BE A..SOLUTION TO THE VERY PROBLEM THEY..CREATED; THEIR UBIQUITY IN EVERY.. PROFESSION COULD REJOIN WHAT'S BEEN..SEP ARATED... CONSIDER.... FOR OVER A THOUS AND..YEARS, DESPITE WARS, PLAGUES, AND.. SUPERSTITION, THE ONE THING THAT..UNITED EUROPE IN A COMMON CULTURE WAS..THE LAN GUAGE SPOKEN BY RULERS, CLERGY,..AND SCH OLARS-- LATIN... PERHAPS BASIC, RPG, OR COBOL WILL BE..THE FOUNDATION OF THIS E RA'S LATIN, A..LANGUAGE, A WAY OF LIFE, THAT WILL..PROVIDE A COHESIVENESS NECESS ARY FOR..A UNIFIED CULTURE.... ANTHEM... THERE IS ANOTHER DIMENSION TO MY..CONF ESSION OF IGNORANCE. LIKE MOST..CONFESS IONS, MINE IS BOTH A WARNING..AND AN INV ITATION. FIRST THE..WARNING-- THROUGH TH E LOOKING GLASS..WILL FEATURE NEITHER "H OW-TO"..ARTICLES NOR REVIEWS OF SOFTWARE ... INSTEAD, THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS. .WILL BE AN INVITAION TO EXTRAPOLATE..AN D EXPLORE SOME OF THE HUMAN..IMPLICATION S OF THE COMPUTER..REVOLUTION, A PLACE F OR REFLECTION..AMIDST ALL THE FUN AND FR OLIC OF..LOADSTAR... ITS FOCUS WILL BE ON EVOLUTION-- THE..SUBTLE CHANGES IN OU R EVERYDAY LIVES,..OUR WAYS OF THINKING, THAT ARE BEING..BROUGHT ABOUT IN A INCR EASINGLY..COMPUTERIZED SOCIETY... EVOLU TION IS INEVITABLE, OF COURSE,..AFTER AL L, WHILE THE BLACKSMITH POUNDS..HIS ANVI L, THE ANVIL HAMMERS THE..BLACKSMITH, BU ILDING MUSCLE AND SINEW,..CREATING REFLE XES THAT ARE REMEMBERED..FOR A LIFETIME. .. WHETHER WE ARE TRIBESMAN OR..BUSINES SMAN, WE ARE INEVITABLY SHAPED..BY THE T OOLS OF OUR TRADE... WHO ARE WE COMPUTE R-USERS? WHAT ARE..WE BECOMING?
