My husband always had to have the first computer. He built himself one, back in the 80's, and then he's had the newest he could afford ever since. I've been amazed at the pace of change. Heck, I can remember using ARPANET (sp?) I think, when I was in college in the early 80's- i don't think any of us using that network foresaw the virtual world that would evolve in LIGHTENING speed.

It was a Black Swan. There are a lot of black swans out there. It is natural for people not to see them- that is, after all, what makes them black swans. If people didn't deny their existence, the theory really wouldn't work :-)
