As the Geek Learns

A Professional Computer Geek's thoughts on random things including God, the Gators, politics, technology, and whatever other shiny things that catch my attention. I'll bore you with the technical, and piss you off with the opinions, but I will always love God and the Gators.

Bye Bye Dinosaurs

New York Times Columnist Thomas L. Friedman - excerpt from While Detroit Slept


...our bailout of Detroit will be remembered as the equivalent of pouring billions of dollars of taxpayer money into the mail-order-catalogue business on the eve of the birth of eBay. It will be remembered as pouring billions of dollars into the CD music business on the eve of the birth of the iPod and iTunes. It will be remembered as pouring billions of dollars into a book-store chain on the eve of the birth of Amazon.com and the Kindle. It will be remembered as pouring billions of dollars into improving typewriters on the eve of the birth of the PC and the Internet. What business model am I talking about?....
