"
The Industrial Revolution was based upon two grand concepts that were profound in their simplicity: Innovators came up with ways to simplify endeavors by breaking them into easy, small tasks that could be accomplished on assembly lines. Then, beginning in the textile industry, inventors found ways to mechanize steps so that they could be performed by machines." - Walter Isaacson
The Innovators: How a Group of Hackers, Geniuses, and Geeks Created the Digital RevolutionThe paragraph struck me because it made me wonder if there's anything in our lives today we could apply those two "grand concepts" to? The second of which is a very good reason for even ordinary folks like ourselves should learn to code.
An excellent book, I think you recommended it before. Isaacson is an outstanding writer.
ReplyDeleteAgree with you about Isaacson being a great writer and I've recommended many of his books before but not The Innovators. Only because I'm in the middle of reading it for the first time.
