In the time of computers, it is amazing how fast each “age” passes.
I just got through deleting six repetitions of hte article I just wrote to Peter.
Not only does every reader understand exactly what happened, it has happened to him repeatedly:
While the computer grinded away publishing what I had written, I kept hitting the “publish” button. I am willling to bet the same thing has happened to you on e-mail or something else.
Whatever I am doing here is familiar to everybody reading this.
When I look back over some fifteen years that I have been at a computer, age after age has passed.
I remember when I was in a news group and read an entry Bill Gates put in, “a loyal liberal,” he said. The computer world was a good deal smaller then.
At the time the Science Fiction Channel on cable television began, every e-mail I sent them was immediately answered, even one objecting to a program, which has not shown up since, with a white and black mixed couple.
Can you IMAGINE that now?
It was a TINY world.
We are not talking about the last generation. This was ten years ago.
So I am enjoying this time when my readers see some goofup I make and understanding exactly what happened. I am going to miss this cozy world in the Next Generation, up to five years from now.
