Yes, but what _you_ said was nothing more than a usual practice of the young ones who think that "icons of life" doesn't matter anything. But it does. We are human beeings, and not digital computers, yet. And we need other human beeings around us, because we were created so. Community and the symbols of this community is very important for everyone. For istance I am Hungarian, but currently in Germany. And felt very uncomfortable even at home, until I spoke with one of the german poeple, and he said, that he had read the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy as well. And then I felt a little bit comfortable. Like if I were at home a litte. I had someone around me with the same "icons". Yes, we age. Yes, we live. And do you think, that the simple fact, that you can say that sentence : "Yes, we age", makes or and aging easier ? You asks : What of it ? It hurts. At least it hurts even me, when I cannot follow the fast advance in life, and cannot smile to others knowing that we share the same background. In the time of C-64s, it was enough to be a computer-fan to feel yourself home among other computer-fans. Now you have to be a Quake-fan, or even especially a Quake-II fan to feel the same. I liked playing Ace-II, but don't have enough time beeing a QuakeII fan. I've tried and missed. And Quake fans wouldn't accept me as a company. Because I am not a full-time Quake-fan. So what I think this article was about, that you have less and less poeople around you, with whom you can speak comfortable. Others just chatting something, that wouldn't matter a bit. Live for today, yes, true, I agree. I really agree. But I can live for today only WITH people, and if I meet someone who just cares about Quake and thinks, that Quake is what matters, what can I do with it ? Replace Quake anything you want. Now I feel disappointed, because I wrote down one of my most important faith about life, and you will just skip it. Because I write it in electronic form. Ah...
Even if it is maybe the way of the future, but it looks like if a car producing company said, that it is going to make cars, for those you don't have to know anything about traffic, just say the car "where do you want to go today". I wouldn't sit in a car like that anyway, it's better if I drive it myself. Anyway, I think, it is impossible as well. GUI can look fancy and nice, but where comes the idea from, that it is useable for everything as well ? (I don't want a flame war and beeing offtopic, but in my opinion it resembles the OOP-belief)
Isn't this MindCraft that one, who made an unfair comparsion test between NT and Novell Netware some time ago, and was heavily critizised by Novell spokesmen ? I am not sure, but remember so...
