No... eventually, like all fossils, they will be left far in the past.

"Computerized garbage"... are you still using a flip phone?

Technology advances, and companies, industries, and workers need to advance themselves in order to remain relevant.

Smashing the weaving looms isn't going to work today. Other companies will deliver what people want if you decide they shouldn't want that and should just continue to want what they've always been offered.

I am a Never-Trumper, but it's obvious to me that /. eds consider any anti-Trump story to be "stuff that matters"

Chapter 1,293 of "He's a massive idiot", wherein his opponents try to make a big scary mountain out of a statement that basically just reveals he's too stupid to know what he can do as president.
