The Mother of All Demos: The 1968 presentation that sparked a tech revolution
(hat tip also to Lynn Wheeler)
D'yer think we could use a revolution in Control Fraud Regulation?
If, say, in your country, you as an Middle Class worker were supplied with ... a cultural-self-regulatory feedback/response system that was alive for you all day and was instantly responsive to every culturally significant action that all citizens had, how much value could your culture derive from that?
Could that trigger a cultural revolution rivaling the Renaissance? Sure seems like it. And we're sitting on it, and reserving it for our police state?
Talk about the ass calling the skull and bones Central Planners! CP by other means is what you get when private factions gain effective control of a supposed democracy.
Why keep PRIZM as a prison for the citizens that own it? Open source and adaptive re-purpose it, and call it culture? Or just freedom of speech?
Democracy is too important to be left to the NSA?
Or to the Control Frauds who currently taken private OWNERSHIP of all 3 branches of our ex-Democracy? The one we now call 'de Mockracy?
Gosh, isn't all that what's called an agile, representative government? We keep inventing new technologies, but keep forgetting to run our whole culture through 'em?
Why is it that the first thing we do with new technology is to shoot our cultural foot? No wonder the Middle Class is always hopping mad.
Haven't we already had a few, abject demonstrations - called "depressions" - illustrating the value of a cultural-regulatory feedback/response system?
How long will it take for THAT to catch on, and REMAIN in use?
