You say, "I don't know what the hell an algorithm is!" but I say it
doesn't matter. There's one straining at the digital bit right now ready
to scoop you and your best labors up into a brave new world. If you
think calculators and computers have replaced you, you ain't seen
nothing yet...!
Algorithms are digital formulas designed to
methodically solve any problem you give them. Oh, not just the obvious
ones like THINKING faster then you. That ship has sailed.These days they
have matured into formulas that can CREATE faster than you. You want to
write a novel? create a musical for Broadway? design a step-by-step
answer to the intrusion of Chinese warships in the southeast Pacific?
Algorithms
aren't supposed to brag, but brag they do! From Hollywood recording
studios to CIA counter-intelligence, these little nameless faceless
critters have actually replaced dozens of....well, lets just say it out
loud! College and life-educated specialists who were only a few years
ago labeled "indispensable." Algorithms have written musical hits,
designed political campaigns, helped football defensive coaches, and
planned Manhattan wedding events! How do you top that?
Look, I
don't begrudge our algorithms their genius. I simply begin to wonder if
average IQs like me will be increasingly trampled in the nation's
unemployment lines. And if average IQs like me will have the nerve to
step out of the house in the morning. Wait...there's an algorithm for
that.
