Why Aren’t We Inspired by Hillary Clinton? - The New Yorker

Would the historic election of the first woman President evoke a similar thrill and sense of wonderment as the election of the first African-American President?

Senator Bernie Sanders, Clinton’s opponent, summed it up: “I don’t know that a man would be treated the same way that Hillary is.” He added, “Some of it is sexist.”

World Problems?

As the previous blog mentioned, there are places and things out there that are not contained or looked after, either due to size and/or outside of one country’s realm of control. That blog mentioned that, even though the World’s oceans cover 72 million square miles, it not on it’s own, it has troubles no one nation can deal with. The United Nations has responsibility for “relations and commerce” rules between many nations; it took that over from “the League of Nations” after WW2, that didn’t redirect troubles then. Another hot spot is Antarctica, which no Nation has permanent settlements on, but there are stations at differing locations there. Space is no one’s property, but “The Big Three”, the US, Russia and China have put space vehicles on the Moon, a quarter of a million miles away. Does this mean these countries “control space”? No, it just means they reach farther than others, sooner. No, the things no nation has bearing over is right in front of our collective faces. During the USA’s 1969 Apollo program to the moon,  and when at the Moon, it was remarked that the Earth looked like “a pale blue marble” and was “very small”. The World is growing smaller every day.

Since Guglielmo Marconi invented the first working wireless radio in 1894, we “have come a long way” from dots and dashes to Broadcast Radio to Television to the the Internet, completed in under 100 years. Not much later, the world is in our pockets, with instant visual communication on opposite sides of the Earth for those that own or can reach a computer with the Internet, and it is ubiquitous. 

There is person to person visual communication, broadcasting by individual to groups - text, audio or video, stock markets, consumer companies in one country selling to peoples in a country thousands of miles away or next door, library borrowing of ancient texts by other libraries, schooling from Institutions to third world countries, monitoring by security services of all types and more. The Internet has a place in the world of communication, alongside radio, the telephone and television. Even though it can emulate those electronics, a simple radio or cell phone is cheaper and easier to use than a computer with a connection, and a television has timely broadcasting networks that computers with internet connections follow. The computer/internet has a place of it’s own. What will happen from this result?

The World

10 years after Marconi invented radio and connected all the world, WW1 began, then about 10 years (1918) to the Stock Market collapsing after stock prices plummeted. The “Great Depression” that followed lasted 10 years, preceding WW2, and about 10 years after that the Korean War - ended - in a ‘stalemate’, still going on. The “Cold War” began with Sputnik about 10 years later, which ended when America landed on the Moon in 1969 - about 10 years later. Interestingly, “the Internet” could be said to have begun in late 1970’s and early 1980’s, ten years after the Moon landing. The USSR broke up anywhere from 1992 to 1995 becoming “Russia”, and 2001 is a memory. Were we expecting 'something’ in 2000? Don’t forget 2006-8 was a World economic problem we pulled out of, slowly, to be sure; and by 2010 we were well 'back on our way’ to economic recovery. Marconi, what did you do? :-)

The generation retiring at this time is much larger size than the following one, from “the Baby Boom”, making financial recovery seemingly hard. They know what to do, but are not working to do it. And 2010 is about 10 years after 2000, another 'expectation’. What will happen 10 years after that? Wait another 5.75 years.
