Tornado Alley (PROG)

[newmedman]

I'm not for or against technology and I've read your posts on the matter so I know where you come from. To me, I just don't want to see a bunch of robots running this world in the future. A lot of us worked very hard, reading and studying to learn our craft.

However, it can be a useful tool for research if used properly, which is the question. Like the old saying, "it's all fun and games until someone loses an eye". These are high stakes for humanity.

It was just like when I first got out of college with a computer drafting certificate. The places I went to work at, I was despised by the old men there that did everything on a drawing board. I could do that too, it just took a lot more time and they were still pissed at me.

Now look what it has become. Hardly anything is hand drawn up on paper anymore aside from sketches and blueprints are not a huge roll of papers, they are PDF files that we download and look at on tablets. Lathes and die casts are all CNC machinery and just look at 3-D printing. None of that would have came along without the technology I was on the cusp of in school and the old men fought against it.

There's give and take but I just don't like machines thinking for us creatively. They are a great use as tools but we can't sacrifice our minds to them.
