Oh boy, shitty author Doctorow finally learned what I've been preaching for over 30 years. Joyous day.
Maybe some of you stupid motherfuckers should have listened to me at literally any point going all the way back to 1996.
Or literally any of the other dozens and dozens of people who have been saying it at least that goddamn long.
@rootwyrm Sure I believe you (without you even stating what it was) but this is the long-burn work that some get it immediately and some don't - and either way from the minute you said it, it take time... At least he has reach and it's better than nothing / something now... (and not all on either of you completely - a reflection the rest of us we're not as fast or you'/our way of disseminating / implementing isn't on point enough - so that the work I see).
If for example people *actually talked* (audio conversations) and not just 1-way text or even 2-way I think people would feel that audible MUCH MORE than text which everyone has been doing for far too long and too 1-way by nature of cold / misunderstood text or simply the non-humanness of it.
Those are my coins in the tin - See #hashtag #FreeSchool for more answers (e.g. "developing people not just tech!" - "we have too much tech, it's now about people understanding / cooperating more from more diverse fields") ...
