| i seriously doubt that there are many offices left who still use parallel bars to draw with... ...but in 1982, they were still pretty close to 'state-of-the-art' and an indespensible tool. Computer-Aided Drafting was still hanging over our future's like an ominous guiotine... ...threatening to throw us ALL out of work!!! |

| i was very fortunate to find a job with a young Architectural Firm before i had even completed my Associates Degree, but it would later come back to haunt me. Almost everyone in our office was under 30. this tends to lend a great deal of energy to an office, but the competitiveness that naturally comes with that can be very frustrating. i really had no choice but to play a "supporting-role" in a team that included about ten to twelve members. i was the only one in the office who had not finished University, and this often would stir up resentments that were difficult to conceal. i wouldn't recommend anyone to try it. it was a slow drudging climb up a fairly short ladder that would be pushed over just before i reached the top. things may change in the future, the internet may become the only University that the world needs... ...but like the predictions that the printed word will cease, i would have to say: not anytime soon, and probably not even in our lifetime. i'm very interested in the Future of the University, but there have been more than a few people who have proposed the model that lectures will be replaced by Teams of Researchers, led by a Professor doing "real" research. That makes the University sound like a pretty exciting place to "learn by doing". |
