Um, excuse me? Literacy and education don't come for free, you know.
That, and the programming of the silicon is generally done once, on one
machine, and then just loaded by others like it. I don't know of anyone
who has been able to download any of his schooling into the analog
computer of anyone else. Compile time applies to each person's analog
gray matter computer. No RPMs there.
Surely you are aware of mind melds?

The biggest problem I had with the various series was that they somehow
only were able to do mv and not cp. Do they expect us to believe that
we lose the computational ability to do cp in the next 400 years?
Apparently, they are completely lost on the concept of working with a
backup, except when it's necessary to pull their ass out of the fire.
Then they always manage to find the backups that they never seem to make
otherwise.
