Fascinating to see a ting session unfold but … it’s geeky …. it’s geeky …. it’s so unbearably (for me) geeky ….

could you geek people “spin off” something for non geeks to “take control of” ??

It would probably mean adding some virtual ergonomy: a steering wheel, a clutch, a couple of pedals to break, to stop and to accelerate, a dashbord, an airbag (when they crash) …..

got it my dear geek friends?? Non geeks need to understand how they can use things to make them heading to where they (feel without knowing exactly what it takes to do it) want to go - Happy Valentine day dear geeks. Your non geek friend luigi – LuigiBertuzzi

Dear Luigi,

There is passion behind your words and you know that I like that. It took me quite some time to get used to the fact that it’s unbearable geeky myself. But see, this is a pretty newborn baby, a meta-baby made of us. And like all babies it screams and cries. It wants recognition. Now, if you hear a real baby cry you do not even think for a second about the fact that the air between you and the baby is a reliable medium to transport the message from the sender (the babies voice cords) to the receiver (your ears and the biological microphones in them making an interface between the air and your brain). Not a second.

You are part of this meta-baby. You are one of its neurons. There are may others. The neurons, we, are very different. Some of us are geeks, some not. That’s good. It’s diversity.

The air we use is a highly complex technical matter and it first has to be made as reliable as real air by the technical skilled part of us “neurons”. And, heck, I know that they give their best to make this technical air “sound”. This causes commication, technical “air” communication. Much to me as if you rush over the stations of a short-wave radio as well. It’s still difficult to hear the plain simple message, the cry for recognition behind this “noise”. But it’s there. –
