We have forgotten about the work-hard, play-hard Generation X
This:
On the Internet, nobody knows you are a dog Boomers don’t understand the internet and millennials were raised on it. Generation X created it. We stripped off and dove into the glittering waters of this brand new thing, and made it what it is today.
The IndependantGeneration X was breast-fed punk and invented indie, and grunge, and techno, … . We transformed the Eighties and we owned the Nineties. … we were fearless and stupid and happy, but we still got up for work on Monday morning, no matter how bad we felt.

Paul Krugman on “the Internet’s impact’
Economist Paul Krugman Prognosen sind schwierig, besonders wenn sie die Zukunft betreffen.
Karl Valentin, Mark Twain oder Niels Bohr zu. (Wikipedia)Natürlich ist es immer schwierig, Vorhersagen zu treffen.

HBO plans ‘Snow Crash’ series
Writer Michael Bacall, Director Joe Cornish Huge news for Science Fiction Fans. Apparently HBO plans ‘Snow Crash’ series a series based on Neal Stephensons ‘Snow Crash‘(affiliate link). Next to William Gibsons ‘Neuromancer‘, the book has been among the most influential books of the cyber–punk genre.
When the book came out in the early nineties and it described a dystopian, yet near term future. The main character, Hiro Protagonist, starts out delivering Pizza, for a company that promises free delivery should the service not be quick enough.
The book was nominated for the British Science Fiction Award in 1993 and the Arthur C. Clarke Award in 1994. Personally I remember when Michael Abrash mentioned the book as a personal inspiration to leave Microsoft and start something different. Michael Abrash of later ID Software then built something based upon the meta-verse that made up Snow Crash: and the result became Quake, whereas the game itself again inspired an entire generation of computer culture.
Now that HBO plans ‘Snow Crash’ series memories come back, and I’m really forward to a great show.
HBO Max has put in development Snow Crash, a series based on Neal Stephenson’s sci-fi novel, from writer Michael Bacall and director Joe Cornish.

allerdings keinen Monitor. Aber dafür wird eine 8TB SSD später noch verfügbar gemacht werden.
