“Mankind’s development depends on two processes: evolution and
revolution. Evolution is slow, deliberate, and difficult to observe
while revolution is fast, possibly sudden, and usually visible.
Human history shows how the two processes are inextricably
dove-tailed as a mechanism for the growth of the species.
Revolution is the effect of change while evolution is a mechanism
for that change. We are always going through revolution because we
are always evolving, both in the biological sense and the cultural
sense.”
“We know from our past that the same is true for technology, the
mankind invented tool for change. And like biological and cultural
influences, it is both evolutionary and revolutionary. One simply
cannot separate the cause from the effect.”
“This is why I am puzzled by the comments of Ransom Love, CEO of
Caldera Systems, at the recent COMDEX in Chicago. Listening to
Love, in the path of revolution is inevitable chaos and
destruction. From that speech, Love said: “In the
revolutionary’s mad rush for total upheaval–the ‘out with the old
and in with the new’–many who are conscripted into the revolution
are left without a voice, and many are left without a vote on the
change.”
