I have a theory about computers specifically and society in general. For most of mankind’s time on Earth things changed pretty slowly and we could keep up relatively well. With computers, everything has sped up so radically that mere mortals can no longer keep up with the machines they’ve created.
In the not too distant future, historians will look back at this period and think that the change wrought by the Industrial Revolution was child’s play compared to this.
Maybe the Ludites had a point.
