Technology is dominated by those who manage what they do not understand. If builders built buildings the way programmers wrote programs, then the first woodpecker that came along would destroy civilization. An expert is one who knows more and more about less and less until he knows absolutely everything about nothing. All great discoveries are made by mistakes. A meeting is an event at which the minutes are kept and the hours are lost.
New systems generate new problems.
Any give program, when running, is obsolete. A computer makes as many mistakes in two seconds as 20 men working 20 years make. The primary function of the design engineer is to make things difficult for the fabricator and impossible for the serviceman. After all is said and done, a hell of a lot more is said than done. Computers are unreliable, but humans are even more unreliable.
