I enjoy automating the thought process through computer programming.
I've been around since 1970's Time Share mainframe paradigm - through Mini, Micro, PC, Networked PC, and now? full circle back to Time Share 'cloud' paradigm.
Exciting times - in that over 4 billion people carry with them a networked portable computer (cell phone, come on, let's face it - they are networked portable computers- you can even do Voice over IP as an app !).
Technology may have at one time stood in the path of humanity emerging forth with events such as Nagasaki and Hiroshima, however, I think technology is also offering a way to revisit the mosaic of humanity, and bring it all back home to better days ahead.
First Mars, who knows... how far we can reach.
What an exciting time to be alive.
