Human Calculators
It used to be a job. Literally. Before there were digital calculators, there were human Calculators.
Now we have automated word calculators.
We’ve been here before. First calculators. Then spreadsheets. With the resulting automation of calculations making your ability to work with numbers more valuable, not less.
A similar transformation is now happening with written and visual communications.
It’s called the Jevons Paradox: when greater efficiency leads to greater consumption, not less. Whether it’s extra lanes increasing traffic volumes, or coding automations increasing the volume of code produced – resulting in greater demand for software architects and security experts.
As productivity rises, demand expands.
So in times of transformation, when powerful forces pull your attention in opposing directions, elevate your perspective above the noise. Looking back to understand where we’ve been, looking forward to shape where we’re heading.
To see ahead with greater clarity.
With calculated
Vision.
