Also, had Kaufman written this rant without the allusions and comparisons to Nazi Germany and the Holocaust and "Jews" -- if he had edited all that out and just done his rant against the machine, well, it would have read better and some people might have listened to him better. As it is, he got carried away by his own family history and completely hit a foul ball! I am Jewish, and I was deeply offended by Kaufman's piece, even though I am more of a supporter and fan at this point of Mr Paper and not very interested in Mrs. Screen. In fact, I invented and trademarked the Bindle. Google it. Take out the Holocaust crap in Kaufman's piece, and there might be some things to chew on. But he completely blew it. But again, I say, forgive him, he knew not what he was doing. AND: this too shall pass. The digital revolution is here to stay, Alan Kaufman to the contrary.
