Of course yo uare right in that regard: Just a small group of people, sadly.

Actually, i think i'm a bit "busy with life" too, having a job where some travelling is a must and have to take care about things and customers worldwide, my girlfriend lives in another city, going for events/parties in neighbouring countries, having multiple interests... But i still have enough time having a deeper look... ok, technology in general is one of my biggest interests.

But...

Most people are... sheep. Just sheep. Dump sheep, often. They do not know better, most do not want to know better, They do what ever they found out until they die, and often do review how they "do".

They just acqure what corporate and/or store marketing wants to sell them. They do not research what's out there, ranging from cars to cellphones to trips / countries, books, to music, evrything even if their life would allow that. They just accept what somebody recommends them, they want the "easy" way, the mainstream one. And they are quite happy in their own little (ok actually its the majority share of the) world).

DISCLAIMER: I started to pay more for people / companies to provide me with stuff so that it "just works" too, being having less time for everything, but i still friggin' *KNOW* what i want and need, from my own insights so they better provide me with stuff or services according to my requirements, and not some generic mainstream consumer ****.

They just want not to be bothered with technical stuff, and want stuff that just "works". That's why Apple's so successful in selling their overpriced mainstream iCrap / carrier restricted Droids that only provides slight devation from the general corporate vision of how one should do things / which things are allowed, MS is the second corporation that exhibits the same on their customers.

Actually, most only want simple things in life. And i find myself quite often in a situation where i actually want to avoid such "simpletons' / somehow "superficial" type of persons that do not want to bother with technology, politics, "taking a look behind / being curious" and just want to live their 9-5 lives with "two kids" and two cards, a house" if they are older, and just having fun while being younger. I like people that ask questions, that are not afraid to stir up controversies, that like being politically incorrect, that do not simply "follow", that do they own "research", that do not readily / willingly comply to (western) corporate standards. This takes energy and time, i know.

In the end, it's probably a huge degree being a matter of priorities. Ok, i'm off to MIT museum...
