The answer is to educate everyone, fast, on embracing the new world order - a world where technology rules and all else is of lesser importance as we all strive toward a better future.

We need to continue to educate, educate, educate, and give to all the powers of the computer, programming, scripting, and google.

One of those is a private company.

Actually, with lowercase g, it's just a number but is non sequitur in this context.

The number is spelled "googol."

I fail to understand on a number of levels.

Which new world order are we talking about here? There are a number of things with that moniker.

Education inexorably leads to embracing this one (whichever it is)? If you don't get some percentage of naysayers, you're not teaching, you're indoctrinating.

Technology as the ultimate master of human society? That isn't a better future. At least for humans.

And what any of this has to do with independence from our corporate infolords, I have no idea.
