long ago, only 100 humans knew how to read and write.
now, every adult i've ever had a conversation with knows how to read and write.
. . .
not so long ago, only 100 humans knew how to read and write software.
now, many more can.
. . .
but how many more will?
how simple can software be?
how deeply can software be embedded into the human psyche?
something, something... solid state interpreter.
your descendants in two thousand years,
if you are lucky enough to have them,
will marvel at your pre-literate simplicity.
or so i pray.
these things take time.
in all aspects of life, but increasingly in software...
if you are not considering a timeline longer than that of your own life, you are missing the point completely and will be inconsequential to
The Story Of Our World.
