Abstract :
For most of my working life, I was an electronics engineer, enjoyed my work, and was proud to be contributing to the progress of technology. I had a great interest in and reverence for pure science and those who practiced it, and I kept abreast with the results in many fields. As long as I was a part of it, I was unable to see the basic errors of the system. Since my retirement, I have had the time to look back over a considerable span of years, and appreciate some of the real differences between the world as it was fifty years ago, and as it is now.
