Letter from the Forgotten Generation
I am not American, but I feel the same.
I was in a "startup" (won Comdex in Las Vegas in 1999, finalist in 2000 for doing data mining on computers that can't run a telephone today) when I was too young to be taken seriously. Today I just watch business concepts crippling IT industry, continuous marketing and buzzword repetition replacing thinking. And yes, "they" say that my CV is "long", but don't have the patience to understand how much I have to slow down to show them my back...
Who accepts today that (real) thinking is exhausting? That Asimov, Hoyle or Lem knew more about our tomorrow than all "futurists" and storytellers today, because they were patient scientists and serious human beings at the same time?
Who reads this long list of questions with real care anyway? Almost all "Boomers" prefer answers to questions, "Millenials" can process maximum 2000 characters.
Conversation requires understanding. According to my experience, you can talk this way, but only "we" will really listen... :-/
