RE: Gorilla Game & Industrial Revolution
In 1830, most of the industrial revolution lay ahead, and it's future was essentially "unknowable"...steam ships, trains, automobiles, airplanes...who could have guessed?
And if the smartest among them knew about electricity, would there have been a forecast possible that would explain computers today? Doubtful.
In 1975, could Jobs or Woz have predicted the net? Not likely, IMO. (But, maybe someone did...)What is amazing, to me at least, is that we have in one-fourth of a lifetime seen two most incredible technologies change our lives, absolutely change them. We're at the threshold of two more ...wireless, and optics. There will be others following that. Someday, I believe, life-extending technologies will emerge. Retired guys with passions, like Dancelot, will like that.
We, or our great-great heirs, have time to identify those games, but in the meanwhile, I like NTAP. |
