Human Scale? (Score 1)

Woz- I remember the early days of personal computing, when there was more of a sense that everyone could participate (and be in control of the technology) because the systems were simpler (yet still very powerful), inexpensive, and not tied to a huge infrastructure. Today, it seems as if you have to study for days or weeks just to learn how to make a "hello world" program because of the huge scale of today's interconnected, interdependent systems. Do you still see (or foresee) a place in high-tech where individuals can help themselves and their friends as effectively as they used to be able to do in personal computers? Or are you actually encouraged by the large machine that has grown from the personal computer "revolution"? -James Merritt Santa Cruz CA
