Stating the Obvious

I'll state the obvious. I know from 15 years ago that my "serious" pieces are not "liked" as much as the humour pieces. A guy I met at CPNEC had a look at my then site and said as much.

I also know from my computer room days, and I started in 1978. And there's another story to be told before I got there.

But back in 1978 we had AC and silver foil like protection for the computer room so it would not get too hot.  And that's why I wear shades, because it was so bright outside after you left the computer room.

 Later we had surge protection, Bill Lucy was our electrician, hello to him if he sees this.

So when I read that today BA was brought to its knees, and NHS also had major problems I ask myself, are they just stupid or what?

If you remember the James Bond film where Bond first meets the new Q and Q says while in his pyjamas he can bring mayhem to the world THEN

You all know that Computer control the  world.

So YOU DO AT LEAST 3 BACKUPS, AND HAVE THEM OFF SITE

YOU UPDATE SOFTWARE RELIGIOUSLY

YOU HAVE AT LEAST DOUBLE OR TRIPLE POWER REDUNDANCY

SO IF THE POWER DOES ITS BACK UP IN SECONDS

IF THINGS ARE SO COMPUTER RELIANT WHY IS THIS NOT DONE

THESE THINGS ARE NO BRAINERS IN TODAYS  WORLD

COST IS NOT AN EXCUSE

DO WE ALL WANT TO BE BACK IN THE STONE AGE WITHOUT COMPUTERS?

WE WON'T LOSE FACEBOOK AS THEY HAVE COOL SERVERS ETC

IF FACEBOOK WENT DOWN 2 BILLION PEOPLE WOULD COMPLAIN

BUT IF ALL SORTS OF UTILITIES GO DOWN PEOPLE WOULD NOT COMPLAIN AS MUCH

SO WHAT'S MORE IMPORTANT FRIENDING STRANGERS ON FACEBOOK

OR HAVING UNINTERRUPTED WATER OF ELECTRICITY

AND IF MARK ZEE IS READING THIS STOP POSING FOR YOUR PRESIDENTIAL RUN

FACEBOOK MUST COMPLY WITH MEDIA LAWS, THAT'S COMMON SENSE TOO

OR IS THE BOTTOM LINE JUST MONEY TO FINANCE THAT PRESIDENTIAL RUN

THIS IS ALL SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY IN EVERY FORM.

AND NO I'LL NEVER RUN FOR ANY OFFICE, JUST FOR PAINKILLERS FOR MY

ARTHRITIS.

SO MR ZEE HOW ABOUT PUTTING 1,000,000,000 USD INTO A PAIN RELIEF FOUNDATION

AND GET YOUR FRIENDS AT DAVOS TO DO THE SAME.

THEN FACEBOOK WOULDN'T JUST BE A WASTE OF MONEY

SILLY SPEECHES MASSAGING YOUR EGO OR CONSCIENCE ARE NO GOOD WHEN YOU

FACE YOUR MAKER IF YOU BELIEVE IN ANYTHING.

BUT I'D APPLAUD IF YOU DID SOMETHING FOR THE LEAST OF MY BRETHREN

YOU CAN LEARN A LOT FROM BG.......


so I'll stick to my comedy in future, but I do have a brain too.
and why did I add this snap to this piece?
