    Humanity to split into two

    An upper-class of intelligent programmers (who work with technology), and an under-class of dim-witted end users (who depend on technology). It was inevitable.

    If I become a dim-witted end user - will I be able to date my cousin?

    Technology is like Energy. It may not be created, nor destroyed by mortal man.

    Users simply attempt to marshal technology around to suit themselves, proponents of entropy.

    Then there are the Programmers, like gods they forge illumination from darkness, meaning from meaninglessness, elegance from logic.

    Programmers will be wiped out by then anyway. We can barely get girlfriends as it is, imagine what would happen if they became pickier
