make it better?
As someone who watched a generation of technicians slowly get outsourced by improvements in technology, perhaps I should be less enthusiastic when the tasks of network marketing become automated. I remember watching the improvements that came into the telecommunications industry. I also remember the moaning. Techs had to learn how to work the equipment that was making them obsolete.
Historical Irony
Urban populations had a need for large quantities of food which tended to spoil just after reaching the market. All kinds of ‘cides’ were created to treat the soil, plants and food. Better living through chemical contamination meant an increase in diseases. The costs to treat more patients put greater demand upon health services. Litigators lusting after the money involved in health services drove insurance costs through the roof. People in urban populations couldn’t afford health care, so they started community gardens to grow organic food to keep them healthy.
Sometimes in our hurry to make things better we forget the bigger picture involved. A little backward thinking usually helps us to rule out a lot of ideas that end up missing the intended target. Unfortunately most of the decisions are driven by the bottom line. How much does the behavior of strictly money goal oriented companies cost the public every year?
Improvement Doesn’t Wait For A Problem
Making things better is a pillar of western civilization. In this quest, honest mistakes can happen. The latest release fixed one problem but created a security flaw. So we download the patch and see if that works. Another update affected something the engineer overlooked; another patch and fix.
Beta testing new network marketing software helps prepare for most uses. Having an open architecture makes compatibility challenges easier to address. The ability to do everything from one place, with one application, without any problems isn’t very realistic.
Knowing the many tasks we perform manually has enabled software engineers to continually make our work easier. The work may be easier, but someone still has to do it.
