Communication and Creativity are the Future
A bit old, but last July, Evan highlighted an interesting point made by sci-fi writer Jerry Pournelle, on episode 149 of TWiT:
The people who are going to make money are the ones who are going to figure out how a guy who knows how to do something useful and doesn’t care about computer science can sit down and teach the damn machine to do something useful without having to spend four years learning to program.
As our technological tools become more advanced, we won’t have to spend as much learning how to use, we’ll simply do. Jerry makes a good point about the successful ones being those who know how to do something useful. That’s no surprise, because as an author of many popular novels set in the future, it’s obvious he has a grasp of how future developments can affect man.
In practical terms, as our tools become better-developed, the mastery of the tool becomes less important, while the ability to communicate and to come up with creative solutions will become even more crucial. It may be years before we can see any significant development in how we manipulate our creative visions, but I’m confident that focusing on developing your communication and creativity are extremely useful activities, even now. After all, it’s not really about what you have, but what you can do with it
