What have we become?

## Does the Computer World decline?

* The Web is declining.
	* Google is removing ad blocking, user-friendliness.
	* Mozilla hates its users, by cloud access.
	* Web browsers cannot be secured anymore with webassembly.

* Programming is declining.
	* There are now -stack developers, who have never seen a CPU.
	* People write web frontends for ECG and pacemakers and think
	  this is fast.
	* Where will the complexity spiral end?

## How We Keep Things Going

* Bitreich is about keeping other ideas alive.
	* It has a history.
	* It has a now.
	* It has a future.

* Gopher is another idea to the web.
	* It has history.
	* It has a now.
	* It has a future.

* What other things can we keep going or showing for future generations?
