SEPTEMBER 01, 2010

Four things that are somehow related

1. September is International Update Your Resume Month. It's true.

2. Says TechNewsWorld: And the job goes to ... the canddiate with the right keywords!

3. An e-mail I got the other day from Tom Boyer from St. Pete Beach: "Applying for jobs online, you go to the Great Data Base in the Sky, and after maybe an automated response, you enver hear from anyone ever again. Believe me, I know. I was hoping to reach a human being, not some system.

4. Jaron Lanier: "The defining idea of the coming era is actually the loss of an idea we never had to worry about losing before. It is the decay of belief in the specialness of being human." More: " ... the role of each human shifts from being a 'special' entitity to being a component of an emerging global computer."
