Software:The Equalizer
Software has and will continue to change the world,created by Goliath into that of David’s.
“A legendary hero is usually the founder of something—the founder of a new age, the founder of a new religion, the founder of a new city, the founder of a new way of life. In order to found something new, one has to leave the old and go on a quest of the seed idea, a germinal idea that will have the potential of bringing forth that new thing.”
-- Joseph Campbell, The Hero with a Thousand Faces
