Straight up nonsense from you buddy. You are in IT and supposedly have been since 92. That means you're over 30 and most likely over 40. If 2/3rds of Americans didn't own/have access to computers in 1997, how in the world do you figure our nation as a whole could in any way be considered computer literate back then? People knew less about computers than they do today and even today, most people don't fully understand what the feds are doing with their exploits. I'm sorry but I'll bet my entire coli cash bankroll that less than 5% of our population could comprehend what the feds did in the 90s.

Sitting here talking about the era of AOL and geocities and angelfire and you think the common person knew what HTML code was in 97. Cmon man thats a joke. :palm:
During our moral event we were having fun. I put your posts up on the summer jam screen.

My bosses boss said, "he seems like the kind of guy who believes in conspiracy theories to distract from what's going on in his life."

I'm seeing a few people upset that the US spied on its allies.

I hope no one is naive to think that all countries with huge spy apparatuses aren't spying on allies and enemies all the same.

How many times has Israel been caught spying on the US? Germany was found to be spying on a few US officials and on France, their ally.


shyt isn't new. Not making excuses but this isn't the most alarming thing about this story. As I said, the most alarming thing in my mind, is the fact they lost control of "malware" and that given the scope of the spy tools, that the idea that it might be turned inward is no where outside the realm of imagination.

There's a certain level of inherent distrust even among allies when they're countries are going through large political and social upheavals.

I think you may need to define your version.

Logging on to aol, doesn't define computer literacy at all. Especially when it's only a small portion of the population even doing that (at that time)

I don't. I'm not the one complaining Americans aren't computer literate.

Are you saying in 1997 if you were able to log on to a computer, install programs, use them, and as he put it create a website on GC or AF you wouldn't be considered computer literate?

If you could do all that in '97 then yes I'd say you were computer literate.

Unfortunately the majority of Americans weren't even doing that.

Back then that was on the higher end of computer literacy.

Most people knew how to use their computers, strong in the software on the computer and able to use them to get what they needed. I consider 4th one people computer literate.

Take a cell phone today. I'd consider a person cell phone literate even if they couldn't replace a broken screen on their S7E if they were able to functionally use it for their day to day task with ease and understanding.
