To: a fool in paradise

I know hindsight will always be 2020, but, it seems strange to put everything on the internet. I’m sure computerized operations make things run more smoothly in many businesses. But maybe certain business operations should not be online. Just a thought for the future.

I agree.

And I don’t like all of the “records” have been put online.

So that now people have their homes stolen etc out from under them as well as countless other examples of identity theft.

I can understand the public records aspect of someone presenting an ID and going into the court house to look at the evaluation prices of properties in a neighborhood etc but putting it all on the internet where the whole world can grab it is just dumb.

Remember when the computerized signals and track switching system went down in the main terminal of Taggart Transcontinental Railroad?

And Dagny Taggart sent out signalmen with lanterns and switch operators to switch the tracks manually, like in the old days, while she and Eddie Willers gave orders to them via runners, radios and telephones? And she got the trains running again, and headed to the right places?

I guess Colonial Pipeline, like just about every other big business these days doesn’t have any Dagny Taggerts or even an Eddie Willers working for them.

All their engineers know about anymore are bits and bytes not pumps and valves.
