At least its not only me ranting about the lack of ubiquitous broadband jrjBlog...This is a big fucking , fuckin, fruckin deal....lemme explain. --its a long story though
Somewhere around 80 centuries ago- lots of previously "primitive folks" converged on strategically advantageous locations and started living close together probably due to the efficiencies that it provided (efficiencies= easier defenses and sharing and whatever else)....
--this growth in communities and the "efficiencies" that it brought made it possible for this folks to have a bit more time on their hands....And back then time on their hands was really literally "time on their hands"....Since that's what the human brain is supposed to have evolved for , hand coordination...
for some reason and it could have gone another way, some person in this "primitivia" decided to use a surface to communicate an abstraction....pure magic...this "abstracting on surfaces" over the 80 centuries past (some say 100 centuries others 200- I don't care), developed into elaborate multi faceted human activity that sadly went mainstream only about 4 centuries ago...track the dominant civilizations over human history and you can see how this "abstracting on a surface" is related to dominance.
The harder thing after abstracting was sharing ... sharing this stuff made all the difference, abstracting alone is a bit weird.....as usual this long story will suddenly be cut short by this claim.... "groups of people with widespread, ubiquitous networks access- broadband will kick some serious butt" now does someone think that its disturbing that S Korea has more internet connections per person than the US. My life is impossible without network access, and am sure everyone is in pretty much the same situation....am in new york city this month and apart from a few often inconveniently located community hotspots there is really no ubiquitous broadband ...in New York (the big apple, the greatest city in the ...), the internet for most is still an oracle you go to every so often, go through a ritual to use and so on, someone tell me am stupid or I have no clue....but something is really wrong...this is the biggest issue today...the fact that components access points selling for barely a hundred bucks and so on, you can almost never find an access location in NYC.....anyway I promised not to whine about that here any more.....but I think that there is a serious problem that our society hasn't figured out ubiquitous network access ...maybe my biggest fear "capitalism regressing" is making people refuse to do the right thing and share network access that they are not using....end of the rant , but there is another frustrated person...yes why can't hotels offer internet...don't they get it, maybe IT industry is so full of crooked people that hotel management can't figure out how easy it is to share the same fuckin internet service that they are paying for anyway with their guests
