my mom can't go to sleep at night until she turns the alarm on. sometimes i think about radio systems; the ones ambulance drivers rely on to talk to doctors; the ones we all rely on to call 911; the ones airplanes use to fly. i think about the ISS; how fragile we are, and everything that's only possible because of these tools we created, with nothing but our minds. i think about the technology in a modern hospital. and the russian hacks on ukraine's power grids that knocked out entire cities, including their modern hospitals. and i think about the internet. i think about all of what's possible, with only the push of a button. and i think, how is everyone *not* filled with an insatiable drive to learn more about computers?
