This whole market bust is a boon for some. Right now I have 3 techs that just paid their own way through getting their MCSE's. I've trained them each extensively and each has been assigned specialties that is extremely effecient for our company. As long as I keep rolling out new systems and allow them to get hands on real world experience installing and maintaining the latest and greatest, they are likely to actually STAY here!!! The thought of having employees that actually know what they are doing stay here at their current salaries would have been unheard of 2 years ago. And this isn't such a bad gig being 10 minutes from the beach...
Am I the only one that sees the true significance. Of course what they are speaking of is a self thinking AI system to rule us all. Hopefully he will be a kind ruler before he decides we are vermin and exterminates us...
Seriously, this type of thinking is just asking for extinction. GAIA was written about in many different SCI-FI novels, but not one with a universal "computer GAIA" suggested from "them" and some TERMINATOR movies.
It is funny how in all of their descriptions they don't actually mention how people should feel, or what type of user interaction there should be other than mentioning us as just some fucking node on the internet that needs to stay operational or... what...
Right now at home, if my computer crashes I stop playing my game and go back to work on my Linux workstation or just go for a walk on the beach or god forbid watch TV.
