There's not a topic in the world that can't benefit from an innovative thinker with a new way of manipulating symbols. But it means more than knowing how to use WordPerfect or a spreadsheet. The real revolutionaries are the ones who'll learn to take advantage of the new medium. To disagree with that is simply a failure of imagination. I feel your pain, brothers and sisters.
Nothing is easy.
They're everywhere, but if we're honest, we have to admit computers have made almost no one's life easier . But the desktop computer isn't much older than most of you in this room, and things are bound to change. Being a pioneer might be exciting, but it's just as often a pain in the ass. That's where there's room for you, for anyone willing to wrestle with the new technology and think of new ways to stretch our minds. Computers, after all, are nothing more than tools, and they help with mental tasks the same way hammers and pulleys help with physical ones.
