There are moments as a technologist that I treasure. It comes from the same thing you get as a teacher. That moment when the light comes on and the students suddenly realize how something works. You can learn more at that moment about how something works you than the person you are teaching. It is the joy and wonder of teaching, parenting and sharing technology with people.
But technology is also about simplicity. The creation of a path forward that removes some of the barriers that exist within the world we live in. It is a bar lower if that last thing is a word. It doesn’t set the impossible bar so high people can’t reach it. In fact, technology makes it easier for us to achieve the bar because it pushes that bar down a bit and makes it possible for more of us to reach it.
The answer to the art of the possible and to the art of what is over the horizon is realizing that technology makes our lives better every day. It brings bars down so that more of us can achieve that overall goal. It is an equalizer. That is why I love introducing technology to people and seeing their eyes light up when they get what it is doing, what they are expected to do and what is possible.
2018 is going to be a great tech year!
That I agree. I remember when I had to learn how to use the Word Processor hahaha and how it evolves to Word Perfect and then later the user-friendly MS Word. Oh well. Now that you painted the picture, I realized you are acting like a parent when you are teaching or mentoring so I understand the joy.
It will be a great year for technology to make our loves easier to live by.
That is a great message! Thanks for posting that one, I agree this year as last year and for many years before that Technology will make our lives better!
Good for you Doc, seems like you have found your path.
I have struggled with a path for many years, as most people do. i feel like I have in fact found my path. Thanks, Carol!!!
