We are in this transition phase of history, moving from an industrial age to an information age. Information technology is the biggest news out there, its the most interesting and amazing thing impacting the globe at this moment in time. The only contender would be biotech. Biotech might save or destroy our lives, it may transform our species but we don’t proactively deal with it everyday like we do with the Internet, the cellphone or the cash machine.
I’ve worked most on the strategic use of technology but more recently on implementing it (swimming against the tide again!). But now I find I am more interested in the applications of information and information technology on the human mind and soceity. Thats why I’m going into teaching – that and the holidays.
Oh! this is the bit when I have to say that I have a life long ambition to work with kids? Well they can be fun, they can be painful. My theory, untested on anything but a tiny scale, is that if you can talk to them in a language that they understand and help them do what they want to do it can be rewarding. But basically they are just lab rats in my plan for world domination Hehehe.
I’m really buzzin about starting my training in September – and about going to Brighton
