Exciting Times

Swiped this video from [livejournal.com profile] triggur I find the bits about technology somehow erotic.



While on the subject of videos, this one is ... amusing. :)



I'm totally seeing the wrong dentist.

I like how the kid just gets up and goes RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRR for no reason.

That other video has some interesting and scary statistics. I have to wonder if technology could stagnate because in order to learn the existing technology you'd need to focus your entire lifetime to it and you simply couldn't use the interdisciplinary knowledge that's required for innovation.

Yeah. And then he just kind of lolls back and then it's like it didn't happen at all.

By that point, we'll probably have the technology itself helping us to invent stuff.

When did we build a computer faster than that kid after dental surgery?

The video makes me extremely disheartened re: going back to school. Like it's not even worth it.

I graduated almost 17 years ago to this day, and everything I knew is thus about 17 years or more out-of-date. This is part of why I don't work in high-tech anymore. It's a neat hobby, but it's nearly impossible to make a living at something that evolves faster than you can keep up with it. Unless you're one of the lucky ones who gets sent on constant upgrading courses at the company's expense. :P Even there, I don't think I could handle the stress. I'm glad that there are people who can, and all the more power to them, because I sure couldn't do it.

I feel sorry for the kid. Coming out of the anesthetic haze is bad enough when you're an adult and have some idea as to what's going on, must have been even trippier for a kid... :/
