The PC was a private venture by companies, wasn't it? And the Internet was the pet of the military/government, but they turned to universities (with the help of private industry) to create it. Governments are so passe; companies and profit - that's where its at now. So buy stock in Wal-Mart, Microsoft, etc., and start plotting which countries they should leverage, and you could be going places. Since you're in Spain, you may want to start networking now with whichever U.S. corporations are active there and see if you can get in on the groundfloor.

The computer and ARPNet were government (mostly military) created entities but the hippies (via LSD) were the real visionaries of the PC and public Internet. In fact, in the 1970s, corporations would hire hippies to give them guidance based on their (hippies) visions. If I had to guess, I'd say you were a young male who's educated and insightful. He's a website that may suit your interest:

Kurzweilai.net

You probably have been there before.
