First, I'd like to say right now that I am not 15. I am at the mature age of 16. While I personally do work with UNIX and do programming for my job, I do NOT see this as a counterculture, as some people do.
This entire internet/open source "movement" in my opinion has created more problems then it has solved. I personally think we may have been better off in the late 40's than we are now. There are "zealots" who are obsessed with programs at this stage of the "information revolution". I am not sure, but I think that isn't a saying much about my generation. If I could, I would wake up all the people who are so hung up on using Linux or whatever just to call themselves a 'geek' or 'nerd'. Last time I checked, those were not compliments. Computers in general, are a tool. Nothing more, nothing less.
This was not intended as 'flamebait'. Although almost any conservative view posted on this website seems to be treated this way.
