Alright, so I’m sitting here at work trying to do my job. But, I have to
wait for an hour for the computer to finish “thinking”. It doesn’t take me
an hour to think about performing one little task. I think about it, then I
do it. It’s a small task, I don’t have to think about all the other tasks
that I did before that one in order to perform this one. I just do it and
it’s done. Like when I go for a drive and I have to make a left turn. Do I
have to think about all the other left turns I made beforehand? No, I just
make a left turn. Do I have to think about the route I took each time I
drove this way before? Maybe, but it won’t change that I have to make a left
turn – so I just make a left turn. If I thought for an hour that I need to
make a left turn, I’d end up in Indiana. I don’t want to go to Indiana, I
just want to make a left turn now. So I do.
I know if I spent more money and got more memory and more processing speed
that my computer will work (er, think) faster. But I don’t have to do that
myself. Perhaps, taking a college course or two will increase my knowledge
base and that does cost money. But, I don’t have to pay for something that
will be obsolete in a week for my mind to work faster today!
