Although Dalvik and Java look the same on the surface, their structure and
many features differ.

Education=Basics (Press, general public, lawyers, and judges, don't understand "digital" tech).
Authored by: Anonymous on Wednesday, May 09 2012 @ 06:42 AM EDT
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.
