“Paul Saffo, the futurist, says he could divide the technology world into two kinds of people: engineers and natural scientists. He says the world outlook of the engineer is by nature optimistic. Every problem can be solved if you have the right tools and enough time and you pose the correct questions. Other people, who can be just as scientific, see the natural order of the world in terms of entropy, decline and death.”
(from “Technology Doesn’t Dumb Us Down. It Frees Our Minds,” NYT)
I’m a natural scientist, hands-down.
