Hey, I'm amazed by supermarket scanners, as is anyone who comprehends the advanced laser and digital processing technologies that they contain. Reading a bar code from any direction in milliseconds and correcting inventory databases, and signalling to remote suppliers, it's a miracle, folks, and people who take it for granted are the kind of barbarians whom Ortega, the great Spanish philosopher, described as resembling pygmies who pick low hanging fruit from the trees without the slightest comprehension of the astonishing processes that produced it. It's like making a bunch of "information highway" speeches and imagining that your eloquent legislative cock a doodling brought forth the Internet.
