It does turn out that 3270 streams and web forms are similar. Transmit a form, wait for the user to fill in the fields on the form, then receive the fields when the user submits it. It is how a mainframe in the 1970s/80s can support 100s of terminals, despite being small by modern standards.
I met a couple of people who knew him - he was a genuinely much loved man. I collected a few Fish disks over the years that opened up a broad world of computing to me, long before I had internet access. Raytracing, C programming, 3D graphics, database - just so many toys!
See this is the exact problem. Is the news causing society to decay or is the media a reflection of society, serving the news people want?
I don’t buy the “media and rich elites brainwashed society” myth. It’s a modern take on “the Jewish money men caused all the problems” that was a frequent trope in the past.
British voted and got what they deserved, period. Now they need to elect new leaders with new ideas.
Give a regular person the opportunity just once to participate in the corruption schemes that the elites use to sustain themselves and that regular person wouldn't even blink before accepting. The average person has become so spiritually impoverished that he or she will participate in corruption and unethical conduct without even realizing what they are doing is wrong. "Hey, I get some money, so that has to be good!".
People sell themselves for as little as $500 in corruption money. Elites haven't reached their spot just by themselves, they rely on massive tree-like corruption networks, where the leader of each branch gets to benefit more the more people they have under them. In a given society you have a small percentage of people completely morally corrupted, a large majority who are just ignorant in every regard, and a handful of people who actually gives a damn - about anything.
