Basics. The Main Stream press, the general public, the
lawyers, and
judges,
do not understand digital tech.
Tech to them, is almost like the magic fire
that the
medicine man of the tribe brought forward that the rest of
the tribe
was in awe and fear of. So, it is easy then, for
them to think it is something
that it is not. So, their
ignorance is taken advantage of by someone who is
able to
profit due to their inability to understand.
If they want to
understand tech, they need to start at the
basics. And here they are in a
CSPAN video from the Library
Of Congress presentation by Brian Cantwell Smith
titled:
And Is
All
This Stuff Really Digital After All?
http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/184429-1
Smith basically states that
we all have been tricked into
thinking that digital is more than it really
is.
The real tech is not the software (as the software often is
just
something that expresses something that was done years
ago in an analog world
told again today in a digital story).
The real magic in the tech is in the
chips. If you think of
it, Intel could have licensing on it's chips, where all
programs written to work ON THAT CHIP (or with the complete
chipset), are to
pay INTEL a royalty for using the paths set
up by INTEL in that chip.
HARDWARE, not software, is the
invention, not the software. If anyone does
not agree,
then please feel free to comment.
