It's a brilliant foundation. I'm truly amazed at all 1's and 0's can do, with little pulses of electrical current: create text, pictures, videos...the buying, the selling, the transferring here to there.
Only why did the computer industry founders leave their creation in unrefined form, as a rough draft? It's too good to leave as is. We have the talent: let's refine it, work on its presentation and delivery to then spark an intellectual revolution.
Innovation is alive; it's only sleeping. Awake the sleeping giant. With what? Tools. We need better tools. And, we need to make them more usable and attractive.
I say, basic programming skills across the board for all. We need someone to create a New Computer Language to bridge the gap. A bridge to get them from where they are now to the more complex languages- one not too simple, not too difficult; different but similar...it's the missing link that will connect the people with the skills they need (to create, to invent, to do...). How do we create in this day and age? By computer! ...from ideas to inventions, so we can bring our ideas into the light of day.
Let's use our computers for all their worth (which we have yet to see, how vast the reach can be). How? Take my experience as a blueprint, add to it, build on it, and create our future.
Revolutionary thinking begins here:
In a secret meeting room lit by candles, see one adamantly slamming one's fist on a wooden table...
"Gentlemen, it must be done, by us, and not a moment too soon. There comes a time when one must move beyond the expected, the intentional, the chosen path, the way we're determined to go, into the unknown- not to fate but to us thus far.
It's not the time to hug the comfortable sidelines but a time to charge boldly forward because it is now, our time- less we miss it entirely and history passes us by.
It is time to release the wave of expectancy and passion to culminate in a movement, a tangible force drawing us ever forward, ever forward. It calls us with a beckoning we cannot mistake and a desire we cannot ignore. It's a matter of the heart as well as the intellect.
This will require all, take everything we've got and demand more.
But, it is what differentiates the leaders from the following herds, the strong from the weak-minded, the heroes from the ordinary and mediocre.
It is forged by what's in all of us and what we long to be, our makeup and our intent. It's unavoidable and irrevocable, an inevitable and unrelenting call to our hearts.
It is both our destiny and our determined future, playfully challenging our soul as to what our very makeup is- questioning what our inner self is holding back.
It cannot be stopped nor contained, our soul longing to be fulfilled with the self-realization [actualization] that we are the heroes for today, of this time in history.
I beseech you to hear my plea, as a call to action.
Do not let the opportunity pass us by, to the detriment of many, the failing of hearts and the human spirit in us.
Oh how it's in us. We are well able and extremely capable of catapulting to heights not thought possible or reachable in such a short time period.
I say again, it is our destiny and our determined purpose to accomplish this, our feat of excellence, climbing our mountains of obstacles and overcoming all to put an utmost end to the [intellectual] despair that plagues many."
