Ive been reflecting a lot this Sunday and really looked back on thought trains that led me to the technology world three years ago. Id like to share one: Weve arranged a civilization in which most crucial elements profoundly depend on science and technology. We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces. - Carl Sagan The way I see it: Technology effects every type of industry. The production of too many useful things results in too many useless people. That means no matter how stable you think your field is- you are competing for your job with an element called Technology. Technology will change the way human resources in the oil, medical & real estate field are paid, used and trained again and again. Hard to believe you can lose your job to software even if you are well educated? Its already happening. People have disagreed with that saying: One machine can do the work of fifty ordinary people. No machine can do the work of one extraordinary person. Or saying: When a machine begins to run without human aid, it is time to scrap it - whether it be a factory or a government. Great things to think about but in todays world what truly makes someone so extraordinary if the majority, that is refuting the above statement, is getting the same processed education, evolving accordingly and thinking roughly in the same ballpark as the person next to them? So would the human aide be the push of a button or the plug of a cord? Is the machine the master or are we? Im not sure. But what better way to attempt to stay mentally ahead of this technology, that is influencing so many of our daily lives, than to understand how it is built from scratch.
