Since I wrote this post I have been thinking a lot about it. This is stereotyping, but I don't think pale gamers who spend their whole lives in front of a computer screen have the knowledge or common sense to run the world. Although computers may not destroy our need for a president. Ultimately, that won't matter if he doesn't know how to write programs and so on. The geeks will have all the power!!!blitzenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02942728397445326838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3862070466581846873.post-44679998320397319252010-02-26T18:26:03.024-07:002010-02-26T18:26:03.024-07:00Blitzen,
Thanks for your hard working on this. Bu...Blitzen,<br /><br />Thanks for your hard working on this. But your summary seems to me is really a summary, too concise, which omits some really important points. I think the article mainly talked about how all the numbers related to people’s privacy such as tendency of items and how math especially statistics will play a really important role in the future. Computer is a huge part of the article. Maybe you are just focusing on the computer part. I just think you could make the summary more specifically instead of missing a lot of critical points. The video is pretty cool though. By the way, I think math has been a great part of our world for at least 30 years starting from the first industrial revolution. So go math!!! <br /><br />YDplusSBYDplusSBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03133765178448567641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3862070466581846873.post-75737162180883992752010-02-26T10:26:50.563-07:002010-02-26T10:26:50.563-07:00Blitzen,

You write that "Only a select few will know all the math involved in shaping our society". Do you think there are any potential problems with this idea of having the power of shaping society in the hands of a few people?<br /><br />Thanks for your insights.<br /><br />SKSSKShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00684070871657187046noreply@blogger.com
