What does the recent Microsoft Windows 'Blue blackout' teach us
I am still not able to comprehend the universal ramifications of many dangers that may happen in the modern world of monopolies, extreme commercialization and specialization of everything.There are such anecdotes in our ancient texts when Vayu (Air) or Yamaraj (Lord of Death) stopped their duty and how the Universe stuck up. We may laugh them off as myth or stories. But they were all pointers and warnings to us.
The latest Microsoft CrowdStrike issue also is another signal towards the impending dangers that may be more damaging, in terms of not just cost and time, but many other dimensions too.
(It is still not known clearly why the Israeli automatic countersecurity failed on Oct.7 2023 though it was taken to be foolproof.) All prove that we are still vulnerable.
I am afraid what will be consequences after a few years when AI will be more in control. We had reported incidents of a mechanical robot 'murdering' a fellow human worker due to some 'error'.
I had given a veiled hint in this post #779095 wherein I said "..We are so accustomed, addicted and subjugated monopolistically to most modern facilities that we do not know how to respond and adjust when they fail......Many of our people even the so-called intellectuals and think tanks do not evaluate the dangers of the situation and mock off the visionary leaders when they say about self- sustenance, self-dependence and 'Make in India".
Let us learn lessons.
