This is NOT a talk about how AI could take over the world and enslave humans, enough dramatic news, policies, and sci-fi novels tell that story.
But there are still many ramifications from our use of technology. From the very way we record and distribute knowledge into society to how we actively use and maintain available technologies.
This talk reviews our history and world view, and how we adapt to new technologies as much as how we fail to provide maintenance to our technological base. How missing to adopt a technology or how to support the active use of established ones is more harmful than all the dangers and uncertainties that arise from new technologies.
If you play with fire, you are gonna get burned. Yet there is no path to mastery without play.

As scientist I studied the physics of the very small quantum world. As a computer hacker I distill code. Software is eating the world, and less code means less errors, less problems. Millions of lines of legacy code demand attention and have to be understood and simplified for future reliable operation.
