Such hubris - that anyone still has the audacity to think that it is their job to &quot;manafacture&quot; the future. Interesting, almost industrial, choice of word - you can manafacture coca-cola, cluster bombs, christmas cards, but surely not the future. Seriously though, the idea that there are people who are attempting to manafacture the future is a totalitarian idea, worthy of Stalin.P. M.

I wish I could remember the numbers but one of them was this: something like 70% of the tech-related jobs people hold now did not even exist when they were in high school. Just how in the hell do you prepare high-schoolers for jobs that don&#39;t even exist?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
