I’ve been watching Tom Cruise do insane stuff in the Mission Impossible movies over the last week, in preparation for #8, which I think I will see this weekend. One of my favorite things about doing this, and also watching long-running police procedural TV series, is that you get a good feel for the speed with which technology, particularly communication and the internet, has advanced over the last 30 years. The first Mission Impossible movie came out in 1996, when I got a job in Phoenix building cell phone towers. Almost no-one had a cell phone at the time, but that changed overnight. The computers in the movie are big, boxy things, and a lot of the suspense involves waiting for them to do things that my phone today could do in a nanosecond. I’m about to turn 67, the day after Michael Jackson would have, and two weeks after Madonna will. I remember the excitement of getting color TV for the first time! Then the birth of Cable, and MTV! when I was 23. Computers have been around for a long time, but I got my first one in conjunction with that cell tower job. I used a Windows 3.1 laptop to test the cables and antennas. On 1997, I bought my first PC. It had a 200 megabyte hard drive! I probably used it for my earliest posts on Anarchy, Ana Voog’s bulletin board, where I met who would be my first LJ friends. Now, you can buy a phone with more than 1000 times the storage capacity of that computer. You can get a wallet-sized external drive that holds 5000 times as much information as my first computer for less than $100. That computer cost me $2000. Yet, most of the world is still impoverished, wars are raging everywhere over imaginary dieties and millenias-old grudges. A handful of men have enough wealth to feed the entire world, yet exhibit no interest in doing so. And the United States of America, the world’s greatest experiment in Democracy, has elected a narcissistic buffoon to lead us all over the cliff.
