Humans are going from driver to passenger on the tech bus

Most of my previous career was spent as a typical engineer that happened to be in the right place at the right time to drive the technology bus to where it is today. Among my most obvious claims to infamy was getting the first “smartphone” to more or less function reliably, given the ancient technologies of the 1990s.

I was also involved in early automotive electronic systems, bidding goodbye to what I think was the last PC made in the U.S., the delivery of satellite dish based services to residential customers, and a few things that I cannot speak of.

Yes, technology has changed us, and I’m not sure that it’s all for the better.

The best example I can think of is in my last corporate job, being assigned two graduate students from an internationally renowned “Tech” college (they had been recommended as the “best of the best”) for some routine engineering process work.

One of the most searing memories of my career was having to ask them if they’d had much exposure to math, electronics design, bench work (hands-on building and experimentation of prototypes) and handy dandy nifty keen things like that. The answer was a “well, sort of” in that technology had replaced much of the thinking that used to be necessary.

Yes, technology is a wonderful thing, but humans are increasingly going from driver to passenger on the tech bus.
