Operating Systems, Psychology of Engineering, & RAM

[tivo_life]

I don't know how to say this, but my Apple IIe system was faster than my Windows XP system before I ran CClean. Thanks Kemp for telling me about that. Still, my XP system isn't all that much more advanced than my 30 year old Apple. All these upgrades lead me to think that not much has really changed. It makes sense because computers are based on the human mind and the human mind has kind of peaked out in terms of technology and DNA. Organic DNA computers are around the corner. This field was initially developed by Leonard Adleman of the University of Southern California, in 1994.[1] Wiki.

So I consider computer architecture and the human psyche. It is interesting to think about how the human mind has created itself in a computer. All the late technologies are now irrelevant, the ones like RAM, Processor Speed/type & hard disk space. In a couple more years solid state memory will replace everything because of DNA computers. Still, solid state technology is 60 years old.

I am just trying to encourage people to think about not wasting their money on a new computer. You can buy a 30 year old obsolete computer that will function better than your brand new virus laden computer that functions worse than an abicus. CClean helped a lot, but I had a lot more fun with my Apple IIe without the internet. Maybe new local face to face communities can be formed based on zipcodes rather than IP addresses. The technology is seperating people at this point.

We only needed to schedule a time and a place to meet in person. All that could have been done with text. Why did they need to buy a $2000 computer to meet a social need that a 20$ computer could have scheduled? How are these computers helping anyone be themselves?
