I’m not a big one for New Year’s resolutions, but I do reflect at the end of each year on what happened and what’s to come next. I leaf through my virtual correspondence folders, reflecting on memorable reader notes, both good and bad. In my “Trolls, Zealots and Other *#@&^#%+s folder,” I noticed a few e-mails (mostly from Mac users, for some reason) advising me to go back and sit in my rocker and leave tech punditry to the younger generation.

To the gernerations that come I ask but one favor...no matter what you do or how far you go with it make sure it is for good not evil. Do it to better the human condition. Please!
