This is one of the best - don't call it a defense - summaries of today's tech I've read in a long time.
> "Some people might think that tech is a flash in the pan. It’s true that the raging popularity of consumer software (like iPhone apps) might die down in a little while. But software is more than consumer products. Software is in the back-end of everything. Software runs public transportation. Software builds buildings. Software designs toilets. Software spreads the news. Software boxed that cereal. Software ran that hospital. It’s not going away any time soon."
I read that out loud to my wife, and she said, "They always said that soon the world would be run by machines, but it already is."
I replied, "And in a world of machines, engineers reign."
"And in a world of machines, engineers reign." -> Until the machines take over and start sucking the engineers' bodily fluids.
So as long as no one duct-tapes a wet-dry vac to an anybot, we're cool.
Trevor, you've got the safety reigns, sir.
Three years.. tops...
