I'm not a particular, rah-rah-rah, science. I probably lean more to rah-rah- art. But even that is a low 'rah'. I agree about meaningful purposeful work. I used to work in TV which was none of that. Now my work is unpaid and much more satisfying. I'm probably cutting edge. lol.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15482704982164085234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933809228276133764.post-75958353630872410312011-10-28T12:39:35.778-07:002011-10-28T12:39:35.778-07:00It wouldn't matter if American youth were bein...It wouldn't matter if American youth were being educated in science & technology the way people imagine they should be. That's a smokescreen. At the moment, we worship at the altar of technology, without really being smart enough to question IF we should use it at all. Online calendars allow family members to add/subtract events without having conversations. I saw a tv ad last night for voice commands for the iPhone- for example, "I need a locksmith" or "where's the nearest Chinese restaurant." Again, cutting out human-to-human, face-to-face interaction. It may be cool, (in the sense of look at this bright, shiny object!), but it goes against basic human needs: interaction with other people, purpose and meaningful work. I would put this in the Occupy Wall Street camp - because who's making these decisions? Massive, supernational corporations.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
