My Philosophy...
We are currently seeing a technological revolution akin to the industrial revolution that
happened in the 1950’s and computers are advancing at a phenomenal speed. According to
Moore’s law processor power doubles every 18 months so buying the latest processor will be
out of date in less than 1 year 6 months!
So where do we go from here?
The amount of technology that we currently have is just the tip of the iceberg. Tomorrows
computers will involve a lot more integration with the human body both internally and externally.
They will be far smaller and be able to compute billions of instructions simultaneously in an
instant.
With the advent of the internet a whole new world that has opened up. You can buy just about
anything ‘online’ interact with others via chat programs, play games interactively, listen and
watch your favourite bands all 'online' and find information on just about any topic you can think
of.
I perceive the product of this “revolution” as creating a system. A system which in some cases
facilitates the way we work and the way we live. But also a system to which we must abide
by in order to accomplish our everday tasks. A system which without, in the business world
we would be unable to function. Unfortunately, this “revolution” is happening all too rapidly
for some people. People need computers, they need software and these people need to know how
to operate both in particular the latter.
This is where I fit into this "system". After learning about computers I want to help people
accomplish their tasks. So far this has been done by providing ‘First Line Support’ to companies.
However, this shall progress to developing software for companies who require “tailor-made”
software/databases in order to facilitate their workload.
