Conservation – of Thinking?

I have nothing against labor-saving devices.  However, I don’t include “thinking” as labor that should be saved. Back in the ‘70s, pocket calculators were a new thing.  Everybody got one.  And then we raised a generation of children who could not add 2 and 2 without a calculator.  There is a world of difference between … Read more

A Snapshot Of The Global Semiconductor Industry

I found it interesting to see the distribution of which areas of the globe have both the most semiconductor firms and their values.

Biden Renews Technology-Sharing Treaty with China

The Biden administration’s controversial renewal of the US-China Science & Technology Cooperation Agreement presents an awkward closing chapter for the president’s legacy.

I Agree with the Techie…Leave No Door Unlocked

Yeah, curmudgeon here. When I was younger, I played around with X10 devices to create a “smart home” and all that. But when I saw this, I said “Yep, nope!”: Smart House should be MY house without all the electronic peeping toms watching everything I do: vacuum cleaners, lights, thermostats, Alexa, Siri, and all the … Read more

Distracted and Misled

Are today’s interests really that important and beneficial, or is it just a ruse when being so attracted to incidentals that are inappropriate and exaggerated nonsense? Whatever the urgency, we are all guilty to a degree of magnifying what is simply a nuisance or just trivia.

The Elimination of Top-Down Rule

Throughout history, since the inception of civilization itself, the masses have been ruled by the powerful, which, if honestly defined, are the most vicious. All ruling classes have established their rule through wanton savagery. If you don’t submit, you will be killed or incarcerated. Hence, we have our very own DC Gitmo.

Knowledge without Zeal

We live in some pretty extraordinary times as far as technology is concerned. To think we hold more technology in our hands via our cell phones than what they had when a man landed on the moon is crazy.

Moving Out With American Trucking

American trucking is responsible for much of our way of life. Most of us fail to realize how many of the things we use or consume daily do not have a local source. Whether it’s food, fuel, electronics or clothes; the goods are not from a local source.
