"With everyone having access to mostly the same information and the same tools," Not even NEARLY true.

"With everyone having access to mostly the same information and the same tools,"
Not even NEARLY true.
- F_J_H 16y agoFrom the article: You live in the era of the flat world where millions of people have access to technology, education, and a powerful sales, marketing, and communication platform (the Internet). You live in the era where the most powerful programming frameworks and tools are free, local broadband and high-availability servers are cheap, and world-class people are willing to work 60 hours/week in exchange for Ramen noodles and the chance to be a part of a cool new startup.
- HilbertSpace 16y agoYour examples do not establish your point or contradict my claim. Really your examples reinforce my claim -- you "are digging in the wrong place". See my post above that starts "Look, guys, this thread and its article are making a big, gigantic, HUGE mistake." Look, I can mail you a copy of one of the crucial books, and it will still take you years to understand the thing. And, you will have a tough time finding anyone in information technology entreprenurship able to understand in less than years.
- zackattack 16y agoOkay, Mr. HilbertSpace, would you please name a few such books? I think you're getting a bad rap in this thread. Feel free to email me if you want, my address is zackster [@] gmail [.] com
- kznewman 16y agoSo I would say your point hinges on the difference between access (information) and understanding (knowledge). Both can be true that the access is available to all, but the ability to understand and use something depends on a non-trivial amount of time that noteveryone invests.
