Lol,… I can recall doing an ability test when I was 12 or 13 and had to write an essay about my future work day. It went a bit like this,…
Waking up late in the morning and tending my Japanese rock garden and feedin the birds, then waiting for my meal to appear and reading a book afterwards in my hammock.
I vividly recall the vexed expression of the lady giving me that assignment as she had expected me to write I wanted to be a fireman or similar nonsense. She just didn’t get that I actually expected robotics to be developed a bit faster than it did.
The funny thing was that she was even more insulted when I explained that to her and didn’t think her lack of imagination was my fault. I adamantly refused to write a new one.
My father was an IT manager for a shipyard engineering bureau in the 70’s and took me and my brother to work once in a while. Tape monkeys, punch cards and ASCII art pinups are childhood memories.
I’ve experienced the whole development of IT up till this point. Hope to see a household robot some day to do those chores
