I am the opposite. I used not to care much about computers (I liked math). But I have been blown away but what they enable us to do. And it keeps getting better. Yes computers allow us to Tweet or Facebook which may not seem like a great advance. But they allow us to send rockets in space and make them come back. They allow a majority of humans to access almost all knowledge instantly. They allow my company to develop new medicine much more efficiently. How amazing!
My advice to the OP: go work for a company that uses your computer skills to do something good, something meaningful to you. It will change your perspective.
- markatkinson 10y agoNice and constructive advice. I agree. I think what the author is looking for definitely still exists and probably is in arms reach but sometimes we feel overwhelmed and like the well has been poisoned because the barrage of meaningless shite that gets pumped through the Internet and down our throats eclipses everything else. There is so much incredible and wonderful tech out there to sink our teeth into you just need to find an efficient way of wading through the shit storm of social media and the millions of boring startups pumping promotional PR for the next never seen before food delivery app.
