I come from a very technically adept family. VERY technically adept.
Regular TV occupies a bandspace of 54-890 Mhz. Digital TV is going to use the same frequencies, the same antennae and a good part of the same equipment..
Now I am good, but I do not have the ability to properly encode a digital signal for this new transmission method. Not only is it digital, which is a bitch, and I could almost handle it if it were simply that. But there are security protocols in the format that make it near impossible I would be better off with a megaphone.
The next generation of my family could no doubt figure it out, but there is none. Like Germans, we are quite able to figure things out, but like Germans we do not reproduce. In case you did not know, in Germeny they PAY you to have kids.
If I applied myself to it I could figure it out. I think I could actually get a signal out, like Radio Solidarity, but just how much time do I have ? I can barely keep up with technology to keep my job. I am becoming a dinosaur.
But the young, the ones who do have the time and resources to do this do not have the insight into the workings of the world that I do. And truthfully I will be glad to leave this life, and when I do I will be damnear useless. But that is the order of things. Dinosaurs died, and so will I.
We are losing everything, the kids now who might be able to pull off a Radio Solidarity type project are more interested in their video games. I want you to know, we have lost alot. All inventions these days are mainly within the framework of other inventions. The true innovators are gone. In fact the way I see it, there has not been much invented since the 1950s, that is when AMERICANS invented the transistor.
The IC chips are nothing but an outgrowth of this. You know if the shit REALLY hit the fan I would be the guy you want around. I know how to make an IC, even though I have never done it. I understand about the dopants and the layers and the laser trimming if needed for precision. I know it all the way from the silicon piece of fucking rock, all the way to your bigscreen TV. I know the optics, which is a big thing in a projo TV, but I also know that a similar thing is going on when they make the IC chips that make the thing run.
They make these huge drawings and use lenses to reduce the size, at an absolutely high resolution. The bigscreen does the opposite. When you watch your nice Mitsubishi sixty inch, what you don't see is that picture is produced by three seven inch super bright CRTs.
There was a time I had a standard. I did not want to own anything I could not fix. You just can't do that 100% these days. I mean these are not my days anymore.
My dedication to learning in my life is all worth shit now. They have outstripped me. My IQ might be high, and it is, but specific knowledge is what it takes. They do not give it up. I don't care if your IQ is 300, it will be damn hard to break their control.
I am not religious at all but I have read some Bible, and Revelations is very telling. "Men shall seek death and not find it". I know I am in my end times and I am just fine with it. When the time come fine.
But the same is not true for you, and you must remember this. My sis and I are in our forties and neither one of us is stupid enough to have kids at this age. Our family dies with us. But you have other options. Why do you think I spend more time writing posts on the internet than I do at work ?
And that also has occurred to me, how do we know when each other dies ? I mean if any one of you dies I would like to know and I would grieve. Understand thought that my ilk takes it way differently.
The loss of us to the world is significant IMO, and that is my self worth. Got a sperm bank handy ? My sister once said to me "You'll say anything to anyone", and I replied "Yes".
The kind of people who come and tell you what the suits are doing are going to die off. They ain't making no more. The young among you, if you have read this far, understand that this is now your charge.
I might have twenty years to live, but how much can I add to the body of human knowledge when it is moving so fast that even fifteen years ago when my cousin got out of college found that what he learned last month is already obsolete ? You think I got technology ? this fucker turned dow a hundred grand a year job with IBM, he now owns his own business.
You people try to challenge what I say. I tell you that this comes from a world of experience. You will never experience this world, it almost doesn't exist. The way things have changed, the way the world is now, there will be no more like us. We are the Urbans, and not from the clan who puts out the books.
We are proud of what we are, even if our ideology is no longer in sync with how the world is. We are Polack and German, we are of a dying breed. After we are gone the world is your's.
I hope you are up to it.
