The world has changed enormously. It is not so very many years since I
graduated from the university, in average studying time, and still:
when I was a child my father had the priviledge to have one of the
first computers in his working place. It was the size of one big room
and all it could do was to list the same sentence 300 times and things
like that: very basic indeed. It didn't even have discettes but all
places were full of cartoon cards to which it saved some twenty bits
of data to each. And now, if I look at a home computer, it is small,
even portable and can do enormously much more even if it is primarily
used for playing etc. And the games are just about real world like!
One cannot imagine a future without computers but in my own childhood
the computers and other machines were just a distant dream. So if I am
among the youngest of those who have an university education and not
among the oldest, should one rethink what are our possibilities of
understanding the youngsters' world, should one consider having less
educated younger people work with the young people - as interpretators
if not anything else?!
We live as beings who react wisely to the world that we live in, we do
not stay unchanging regardless of the changes in the world. How can
one without being an engineer understand what goes on in heads that
understand naturally about technology's effect on the society maybe a
hundred times more than what the adults do?! Things are changing, and
we cannot neglect the changes! |
