The future belongs to the bold
We believe developers are the front lines to more then building new technology but also to building a new and better world. You are the pioneers and explorers of the Next Frontier (The Cyber World). It is the strangest and most important frontier of all. You are the most powerful group of people on the planet and you probably don’t even realize it. No other group of people have the power to increase the quality of life for every man, woman, child and beast that roams this planet. Like Columbus you will be the first to gaze into this new world. Our quest will not be one of plunder. It won’t be necessary. The Cyber world will provide an abundance of wealth many times more lucrative and more widely dispersed than the World Wide Web could ever support. There will be many thousands of services and applications to build if not more. The Irony is that we won’t have enough developers to fill the need in the beginning. A pit fall that only enhances your worth on the world stage. Computer Science and programming are relatively new fields compared to medicine and law. For the first time developers will have their own domain from which to project a more coherent and focused effort. Doctors have hospitals, lawyers have court houses, computer scientist (developers) will have the Digital Industrial Complex the engine that will drive the CyberWorld. Most people think real change will come from electing a different president, prime minster or leader. This is so far from the truth. It won’t matter who they chose. These elected officials don’t have the tools to tackle the complex problems of today or tomorrow. It will be up to you. Computer technology is the only way to manage the complexity of our world. We as humans no longer have the ability to manage the complexity of our own world. It will be hard to take our hands off of the controls. In the end it is evitable. Unfortunately we will we resist at a cost of much pain and suffering. Only computers can help us now and you are the masters of computers which means it is up to you, whether you accept that truth are not.
