The Road Ahead: Revisited after 20 years

I remember one thing from BillG's The Road Ahead. He wrote that in the future, there will be one number, one user password for all things in God's creation. It is a cruel joke. I lost my wallet recently with a few credit cards. I am a disorganized person, and don't write down numbers in a booklet. And to block my cards was a superhuman task. oh yeah, that is not to do with internet, but internets sites have each a different password. If you are the kind who writes down your password (and use the same for all sites), if the booklet gets into the wrong hands, you are done for. That is the road ahead thus far. One is scared of what horrors are going to visit upon us further. While at it, what do you think Bill-Mel foundation is doing here? Using Indian victims as lab rats for new drugs. Many software companies refer to themselves as the India lab of xyz coroporation. We are a nation of rats. And to get ahead in the rat race, you have to bow down to Uncle Sham.
