"La expansión de las computadoras e Internet pondrá los trabajos en dos categorías: personas que le dicen a las computadoras qué hacer y personas a quienes las computadoras les dicen qué hacer."
— Marc Andreessen
Simplified Meaning:
As computers and the Internet become more common, jobs will be split into two types. One type includes people who program or control computers, like software developers who create apps or websites. The other type includes people who follow instructions given by computers, like cashiers using automated checkouts or drivers following GPS directions. Think about self-checkout machines at supermarkets: someone designed and programmed them, but shoppers and store workers use them by following on-screen prompts. To be successful and have more control over your work, aim to learn skills that help you understand and manage technology rather than just using it. For example, learning to code or understand computer systems can give you more opportunities and job security.
