The whole problem here is that you are applying 19th Century thinking to a 21st century problem. We love the car because we can go where we want (assuming there is a road to it) when we want and take as much or as little time doing it as suits us. The New Society envisioned by our betters says that thinking is wrong, we need to travel in a regimented, directed manner. Society is developing according to the directives of chaos, in a more and more individual, creative, ungovernable and surprising manner. This must be stopped, we must have great leaps forward, 5 year plans, a New Socialist Man who is subject to the collective. Until we give up our ideas of individual choice and thought we can not truly be free. Slavery is Freedom.

I was dealing with a voodoo user, he has a Master's degree. When I came back to the office, I mentioned that there is simply tech that older people can't get and that Eddy (my 25 year old fellow IT person) would someday be at a point where he doesn't get stuff. "No I won't" ahh, the hubris of youth.
