Breaking Rocks with Spoons
I always enjoy Sundays. Despite being (more or less) master of my own time, there is still something about them. One of the things I like to do is go through articles and mails that I’ve sidelined during the week so I can go through and give them time they deserve on Sunday. In the way that these things do, a picture emerged from this week. People breaking rocks.
People approaching things head on, when standing back would indicate a more effective way.
People obeying patently daft rules, despite the fact they know it hurts them and their clients, because the rules somehow have a power of their own.
People “sticking to their knitting” in a valuable education market, even though a small team has created a digital equivalent that will likely pull the rug from under them. If our job can be described and specified, it can be automated. See here for the jobs under threat – right now – of automation.
