Hardly anybody in the world knew how to read or write.
It was mostly word of mouth since the beginning of time.
Making sounds with our mouths and understanding one another with looks and gestures.
Think Donald Trump..
Whenever the beginning of actual time was we don't know.
Recorded time I think twenty thousand years or so.
Greece and Egypt and Aztec and Maya.
Chinese.
Many tens of thousands of years we know modern man has been evolved we know that from artifacts.
How long the earth itself has been here is unknown but millions of years for sure.
How many millions of years or billions or trillions of years or forever is a complete unknown.
Think about it.
The printing press invented in 1492.
Before that writing on bark or carving on stone.
Monkeys and dogs communicate fully but not like we do.
It's just astronomical what we have done.
Man..
Monkeys that talk and read and write..
Recorded history..
Digitally filmed just these last twenty years or so..
Before that still pictures and moving film for only about one hundred and fifty years..
Windows 3.1 and Windows 95
I came in with computers on Windows 98 Millennium on a Compact Computer and Apple OSX only about the year 1999-2000.
Seems hard to believe.
It seems like forever.
This whole thing here and my discovery didn't start until 2006.
I opened my eBay account in 2000.
Life before and after Computers and Cell Phones and Silicone Valley Micro Chip Digital Memory Chip and Software-Age.
Live and in real time..
The entire planet earth and even space and the moon and the other planets and the galaxy..
Every man woman and child on the planet earth in it's entirety..
Every mountain top..
Every fish in the Sea and the bottom of the Ocean.
Movies on postage stamps.
Whole libraries for the world to see.
A leap in learning and communications that Bill Clinton called "Mind Boggling" in his first "Orientation Briefing" from the Pentagon and CIA shortly after his first inauguration in January 1993.
He released everything to the world shortly thereafter.
The Internet and The World Wide Web and Computers and Cell Phones and Cameras and Recording and Software.
Ol blow job Clinton and his "sucks dick" wife about to become President.
Except that I think the Republicans are going to win except that the minorities and queers might get her or Bernie Sanders elected.
Think of the whole earth in convulsions no matter which party wins.
Like a global earthquake the likes of which was only seen when the early continents separated and parted like america and africa all those eons of time ago..
Windows 3.1 and Windows 95 and Apples and Linux and whatever it was.
Before OS X.
Two worlds.
Pre-computers Bill Gates and Steve Jobs and Cell Phones and Smart Phones and post(after) Computers and Smart Phones and Software and everybody having cameras and recording devices...
Communications..
Learning..
Sharing..
Multiplied by ten trillion billon zillion times.
Beliefs in Gods and Bibles to become simply a part of history and folk lore.
All brought on by our consuming and ingesting stimulants in our food and drink and air and absorbed through our skin.
Stimulants and mind and body altering and body chemistry and what we call substances and drugs and chemicals and things.
Inhalants and in our food and drink.
Monkeys on speed.
Wheat and milk and honey and sugar and highbred carbohydrates and alcohol and caffeine and nicotine and marijuana and opiates.
Mostly..
The rest is history..
You and me..
Currently..
Laptops and Cell Phones..
