Remember what the original cell phone was.
Cell phone cameras have come far enough that I've ditched my P&S. It's my cell phone camera for the low end and my SLR for the high. That's technology that wasn't even out there a decade ago. The iPhone isn't even 10 years old and now we have Nexus, Samsung, HTC, et al smart phones that are all pretty damn amazing when you consider that in 2001 I took a 833 mHz single core laptop to college.
Yeah, smart watches suck. The sensors are +-50%. But for some people that's 'close enough'. By 2026 we'll have a smart watch giving continuous 24/7 health data. Diabetics could do away with a pin prick and [YET TO BE INVENTED SUGAR MEASUREMENT SENSOR] would be integrated into the smart watch.
And this is where the "learn to code" stuff is going. There are a lot of processes out there ripe for automation. Small and mid sized businesses are still being run by manual processes. I've shown multiple people that Excel can sort. (Yes, they were sorting by hand).
I'm a mechanical engineer that has been doing the above since I started. I now have my hardware in the loop integration testing in a script run by jenkins. I already did it once and it's boring and tedious. Jenkins can do it faster and 24/7.
When Walmart released their cloud software it was evident that they had someone that knew what they were doing behind the scenes. It just wasn't their front facing website.
What they need to do is set up a half decent API and 'open source' the front ends. Sell a Rasp Pi with keyboard to plug into any TV with HDMI that has all the tools needed to make a front end. I know 14 year old me would have loved to have development tools that cheap.
Give away $1,000, $10,000, $100,000 prizes (Walmart credit of course) to the 'best' front end or tool to use the API. Partner up with local community colleges and tech trade schools.
In a year they'd have the start of a website and platform to best Amazon for a fraction of the cost of doing it in house. Walmart isn't in the "sell web pages" business, it'd in no way cut into their bottom line.
Maybe as a side benefit we'd get self scanners that knew what they were doing and ran much faster.
- I could compile a shopping list and have it tell me aisle by aisle what to grab. - Make it a pick & pull machine and just have the stuff delivered to my house.
Women and men have been fucking freely since the beginning of time. Do people look at V-day celebrations and think that everyone just held hands that night?
There was alcohol. There were people in their 20s. There was sex.
Having owned a lot of the Seagate 2-3TB drives 20% is way too low from my experience. I think I have 2-3 still running out of a batch of 8. Including RMAs.
Yahoo reports via Good Morning America: "In a study published in The Nature Genetics Journal,
How about a quote directly from those involved in the study. I've seen Yahoo and I've watched GMA and who knows how many time telephone got screwed up in that news path.
I'm also a strong supporter of sticking with something universal and that works well.
What's this useless "USB" Apple is mandating on all the iMacs?! Stick with ADB and the Printer/Modem ports. It's been Universal on Mac's since the beginning!
Then it sounds like you're insisting on a geographical area to find a job and blaming the job market on the lack of jobs. People that want to be crab boat deckhands don't go to Arizona.
I tossed a few key words & technologies into Indeed and had 0 problems finding available positions around Farmington Hills, MI. (The only geographic area I decided to search).
All of those have direct need for C skills and in addition (based on where I've worked with those skills) need people that can do everything you listed. All of these companies have a shortage of engineers that can do what you listed and are looking for them (and willing to pay them). There were 21 jobs RTOS within 25 miles of Farmington Hills starting $110k
And that is one job skill set within one geographic area (That isn't Silicon valley). I can repeat those job searches across the country.
I'm over 50 and that's a major 'problem'
I work with 50+ engineers all the time. Some of them 'recently' hired. It has nothing to do with age.
that's not the issue and it never was.
Yes. It's people that insist on looking in a very small geographic area that has a flood of people wanting to live there. Driving the job market out from under people also wanting to live there. You think your grandfather got to turn down jobs from the CCC because "eh, I really don't want to get bussed into a different city during the depression. Can't you just let me work here?"

How long until it becomes muscle memory?
Setup a mapping for photoshop and use it every day. Some people can swype type on their 'feedbackless' touch screens.

Has anyone figured out what the point of a cell phone is?
I understand household phones but why would you need to talk to anyone not at home?
GPS sensors have come a long way.
http://www.mouser.com/ds/2/238...
A GPS/GALILEO/GLONASS sensor that draws 16 mA tracking. That's ~15 hours on the Apple Watch battery (excluding all other loads).
Some intelligent power saving techniques to not monitor continuously and you could easily extend that.

Like my mechanical keyboard.
Don't forget the high DPI mouse with ZeroLatency(tm) 'gold plated' signaling.
Less space than a Nomad. Lame.
We all know the iPod had zero affect on anything.

There are 60, 70, 80 year olds that literally wrote the books on what our modern society is built on.
My company has this. Normally my passwords are massive, unweildly things.
asdf12!@ meets all of the requirements. And when they force me to change it in 30 days. 23@#, 34#$, ....
Ctrl-F'd for 'mesh' and on both TFA and found nothing. Does anyone know if the software will be there to make these turn key mesh networks?
I have ~40 acres 0.15 sq km and would like to get wifi to a few parts. A few of these on solar panels would be perfect.
Damn it, redpill is leaking.
Women and men have been fucking freely since the beginning of time. Do people look at V-day celebrations and think that everyone just held hands that night?
There was alcohol. There were people in their 20s. There was sex.
And old people think everything young kids is doing is wrong.
I can't wait to see what us millennials complain about.
Having owned a lot of the Seagate 2-3TB drives 20% is way too low from my experience. I think I have 2-3 still running out of a batch of 8. Including RMAs.
We've used it at work for at least a decade to prevent Lotus Notes from complaining about no e-mail body.
I might consider buying one now. I'd never even taken the time to look at it because it had your name on it. Apparently it isn't a half bad device.
Full on autonomy is a pipe dream.
No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame.
It's out there and it's going to happen.

People seem to send messages to multiple channels (Indicated by the # sign) and just type what ever enters their mind.
And like an IRC channel with thousands of users at the same time, the discussion is about as good.

I ended up deleting my LinkedIn. I'm happy at my current company and tired of getting spam.
for silicon valley employers.

Seriously, I'm having a hard time not finding any jobs on Indeed. $100-$130k. Experience in GUI/applications development in C#, C++, and VB6. Experience working with TCP/IP and automotive protocols (CAN, J1850, etc.) Some knowledge of embedded systems. Any experience in CAN diagnostics is a plus.
This leads us to one of a few conclusions:
It sounds like you don't have relevant skill sets anymore. H1Bs are backfilling the gap that should have been a computer oriented skilled trade.
I laugh when Slashdotters mock "drag and drop" programming while at the same time there are plenty of jobs available doing just that.
