Main Subject - Techno Gypsies - Freemasons Of The Third Millennia?
Today skilled programmers, installers and operators in information technology routinely change jobs as skill sets ascend, peak and wane in the face of new capabilities in technology. These Techno Gypsies move from start-up, to existing enterprise to start-up, all as demand for their skills shifts and changes. Like technology, their skills are in a constant state of growth as they master the challenges of increasing processing speed, storage capacity and the demand for ever increasing in

As the builders of the great information edifices of our age, they bear an uncanny resemblance to the freemasons of the thirteenth and succeeding centuries.
The term freemason came to refer to working masons as early as 1325 who were permitted to move from town to town at a time when the feudal system bound most peasants to the land.

ornaments. In this regard the freemasons were both artisans and artists. In a time of rampant illiteracy at all levels of society, these skills must have seemed almost magical. As the late medieval transitioned into the Renaissance period the Stone Masons were the elite of the work force. In many instances the occupational Stone masons were exempted from taxation or regulation by the king or (later) local municipalities. Free indeed!

Successful merchants families such as the Medici’s began to commission the Stone Masons to build their ornate houses. This new class became the leader in patronage of the arts.
