What You Can Do to Prepare Your Kids for Future Robot-Induced #8216;Jobliteration#8217;

What You Can Do to Prepare Your Kids for Future Robot-Induced 8216Jobliteration8217 When I grow up, I want to be a robot Is this todays and a future kids best or only decent job bet? Or are all bets off, when it comes to the robot-dominated future that may force us, as an increasingly unemployable species, to fold our hand(s) and our tents? Google CEO Eric Schmidt recently reassured us that we have leidhing to fear from robots. But then he previously reassured us that if we have nothing to hide (in the criminal or moral sense), surveillance shouldnt worry us (as though your pin number, email comments of yours taken out of context, details of your childs unaccompanied wherbeieabouts, or your unpublished invention blueprints shouldnt be hidden).Clearly, even if we dont have to fear for our lives, our future employment is another matter entirely.So, exactly what sorts of jobs will be available 15 yea rs from now, when, news headlines already suggest, your 5-year-old will probably not only be unable to become a fireman, an astronaut or even a cowboy (because all those jobs will have been handed over to robots or other forms of automation and artificial intelligence), but also wont have a hope of becoming much of anything elseunless (s)hes a towering creative genius?What do you do if your kid is, as most by definition are and probably will be, average?The Coming JobliterationThanks mostly to robots, AI, other automation and technological innovation, Nearly 50 per cent of occupations today will no longer exist in 2025. New jobs will require creative intelligence, social and emotional intelligence and ability to leverage artificial intelligence. Those jobs will be immensely mora fulfilling than todays jobsYeah, right if your kid is smart or well-educated enough to get oneallowing that these are not equivalent, if only because of the increasing unaffordability elite degrees. But one hope is that the average will be shifted upward to meet the daunting robot challenges, competition, andof courseopportunities. This means not just an extension of the Flynn effect, viz., the observed global trend toward higher IQs, but also engineered interventions, such as staggering super-menschlich memory enhancements or amplified cognitive parallel processing capabilities and speeds.For the average kid, it may not matter much whether its 50% of the total number of job vacancies or 50% of the job categories that will disappear, unless, by some miracle, a handful of job categories spring up requiring hundreds of millions of workersassuming that unlike jobs,the global population will continue to increase and by a lot. (The report stating that estimate, Fast Forward 2030 The Future of Work and the Workplace, prepared by global realty consulting giant CBRE and China-based Genesis, a property developer, forecasts occupational category declines, not numerical vacancy decreases.)Then th ere are reports claiming that data in the US suggests that technology already destroys more jobs than it creates (based in part on statistical trends indicating that since 2000, GDP has been able to grow faster than employment).Or are such frightening predictions just so much and too much dystopian ranting and fear-mongering? (But some futurologists seem more optimistic.) In any case, parents want to know now, even if their kids will find out only much laterperhaps only when its too late. All parents need to know, including those parents who should provide guidance for their kids, but dont and those who do provide guidance, but shouldnt, e.g., by pressuring their children to follow the path of family tradition and become a dentist.What Parents Can Do to Prepare Their Kids for JobliterationIm neither a credentialed futurologist nor a parent, but my track record with forecasts (including estimating the costs of being a dad) has been pretty good and I can mucksmuschenstill think,unassi sted by a robot or brain implants. So, heres how I would prepare my kid, if I had one. I would steer the kids career toward or away from the following or to a career that otherwise takes one or more of these considerations and options into account (with YES and NO designating a thumbs-up and thumbs-down, respectively, for each strategy)COBOT PROFESSIONS (YES) All of your distress about your sons time wasted on video games may be needless, if, a few short years from now, semi-autonomous drones remain far more numerous than fully autonomous versions. Military and civilian employment opportunities for him may be plentiful, because of the great skills-challenge match between those thousands of hours logged on Mortal Kombat and the demands of aerial delivery of Air Force or Amazon packages. Those pattern-recognition, eye-hand coordination and multi-focus skills will be just what the jobs will require (unless the menschenfreundlich ground-operator is, like the pilot, also replaced by a ro botic system).This meanscobotjobsjobs that essentially require permanent collaboration between a robot and a human, and collaboration or cooperation that is not optional for the robot (although possibly for the human). Your familys challenge will be to anticipate, identify and track such professions including job opportunities in the drone sector, if the semi-autonomous drone business spawns more cobot drones to spy on the cobot drones that are spying on the cobot drones that are spying on you, thereby creating more jobs for human operators. To see how that would work, check out South Parks recent (season 18) episode,The Magic Bush. (Warning infantile adult content.)INFORMATION RECORDING, INPUT AND RETRIEVAL (NO) Any job or career that is primarily, if not exclusively, a matter of recording, inputting and retrieving information will almost certainly be a bad choice. The range of such jobs spans simple data entry clerk to librarian and NASA asteroid monitor.It is one thing to design or operate recording, input and retrieval systems, but quite another to be one. It is these latter categories that are unlikely to exist as occupational slots in the near future.MECHANICAL SKILLS (NO) Because any mechanical skill, e.g., machine operator, carpenter, assembly line worker, post office sorter are deterministici.e., follow clearly specificable algorithms and flow charts, they are mechanical in the sense of being programmable. The key thing to understand here is that a job doesnt have to involve machines to be mechanical in this broader sense and therefore vulnerable to eliminierung through automation, whether robotic or not.All that is required is that the tasks and job description can be designed and executed in conformity with a flowchart or algorithm that contains no indeterminate or vague elements lacking an algorithm themselves, such as if yes, create an idea at this step or secure funding at this step If the job can be carried out in precise linear or parallel sequ ences, with no mysterious or intuitive intervening steps, the odds are that at some point it will no longer exist.For example, I asked a carpenter friend of mine whether he can think of even one carpentry task that could not, in principle, be automated. Hes still thinkingand, for now, still employed. Kids thinking of following in his tradesmans footsteps will probably be better off thinking about a different career. (Note, however, that there may still be work for woodworking sculptors or carpenter-designers, to the extent that their flashes of creative genius cannot be replicated by AI software. )HUMAN SPECIALIST CAREERS (YES) Like replica medieval barmaids and friars working the doors and the floors in modern tourist-trap Ye Olde Banquet-type taverns and inns, some of your kids may find employment as comparable kinds of performance artists or exhibitsserving as (im)perfect embodiments or performers of distinctive and historical human attributes and/or capacities.This doesnt necess ary mean being on display as an exhibit in a human zoo or a jar it could involve professorships in Human Studies that are awarded on the basis of authenticity, first-hand knowledge and the unique capacity to be the observer and subject of an academic discipline. Human zoo curator or ethologist also comes to mind in this connection.If that doesnt work out, income supplementation by working as a paid human blood donorfor robot researchers, if not transfusionsmay help.UNEMPLOYED-HUMAN SUPPORT GROUP COUNSELOR (YES) Self-explanatory, this is an extension or application of the current unemployment-counselor strategy If you cant find a job, try to get one helping others with the saatkorn problem. Having a human supervising the group is desirable, because of the commonalities of background, expectations, understanding, credibility, etc.EXPANDED JOB DESCRIPTIONS (YES) One aspect of securing future employment is to make it more secure, once it is gained. The robotic and AI revolutions may act ually make some human jobs more secure while eliminating others. For example, it has been reported that, in Canada, journalism schools are now even giving specialist courses in reporting with drones. That broadens the reporting zones and circumstances, e.g., live from the erupting craters depths In other sectorsmining, for example, drones may provide safer access to remote potential sites through up-close aerial reconnaissance.So, parents may want to consider the future job-description expansion potential of identifiable prospective jobs for their kids.ROBO-AGE TEMPING (YES) Until robots and AI systems become fully self-manufacturing, self-monitoring, self-repairing and self-marketing, they will create jobs for humans, partially replacing those they destroy. In the bigger picture, those created jobs, however professional and skilled, will probably turn out to be temporarylasting only as long as it takes the robots to make those workers, if not the jobs themselves, redundant.For exam ple, the US industry group Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) estimated in 2013 that It could create more than 70,000 new jobs, including 34,000 manufacturing positions, in three years, the group forecast. In 10 years, it projects 100,000 jobs will be added.Nicebut better, if permanent.EXPANDED HUMAN CAPABILITIES (YES, even if reluctant) A very smart career goal for your kids to set relates to targeting his or her supply-side skills and capabilities, rather than future jobs to be targeted. Just as getting a degree has been a core objective in career planning for decades, getting pharmaceutical, surgical, cyborg and other enhancements to stay competitive not only with other humans, but also with humanoid and other robots or AI software, is likely to become a trendand then a requirement.Sure, at first you will balk at having a smart(er) chip implanted in your childs brain or have your fetus genetically engineered to dwarf Einsteins intelligence even while still dwarfed by Einstein in size. But once the smirking neighbor drops by with her chipped-off-the-old-block 6-year-old who speaks and reads 35 languages, including ancient Sumerian, thanks to that implant, youll drag you kid to surgery the next time he yelps, I want some chipsEXPLOITATION OF ROBOT VULNERABILITIES (YES) Imagine time-travel technologies that require chrononauts to travel back into times when the designed energy recharge sources or repair capabilities for the extant robots didnt exist, e.g., the medieval era. That could be one job strictly for humans. Of course, this example is fancifulbut it makes the point that there may remain or emerge some jobs that humans can do better than robots because of robot inherent vulnerabilities. A more down-to-Earth example would be space-station human physiological experiments and observation, which, by definition, robots would be unsuitable for.INTERPRETER SKILLS (YES) Interpretation skills are among the non-algorithmic, non-mechanical skills that pose the stiffest challenges to robotics. Whether it is a matter of interpreting an X-ray, a poem, a geopolitical initiative, a painting or customer resistance to an advertising campaign, human interpretation is more likely to be among the last, not the first skills replicated and surpassed by robots or artificial intelligence.This fact suggests that if your child develops any interest in linguistics, a nudge toward becoming an interpreter or linguistic analyst rather than a translator may be advisablea suggestion supported by the fact that interpreters currently make more than translators. Also, they are harder to find (because interpreting is more difficult than translatingand not just because its very challenging real-time performance synchronized with the speakers speech). The same goes for some other future analytical and interpreter skills and jobs.PSEUDO-CREATIVITY (NO) The already familiar mantra extolling how robots, AI and other automation will free us for more creative wo rk can be over-stated and misstated. A lot of what is praised as creative really isnt. So, targeting skills and jobs that involve such pseudo-creativity may be a huge mistake, if they turn out to be readily within a robots steely grasp or an AI programs ambit.Take brain-storming, often cited as a paradigm case of creative thinking Consider the task of connecting seemingly unrelated, even mutually exclusive concepts, in order to find some new ideas or inventions, say, telephone and camera. Oh, wait, thats been done. But you get the idea. The problem with the longevity of this kind of creativity is that it can be automated for and displayed by a high-speed computer. Simply have the program create all 2-term combinations of every word or concept in the database, e.g., a technical or standard dictionary. Thats the easy part, the pseudo-creative part.The genuinely creative part is also the hardest to derive an interpretation, application or justification for specific generated pairings. See how this relates to the previous point about interpreter skills? Another genuinely creative task is to generate a precious, few non-random pairings with a high probability of being exactly what is desired. So before grooming your child to be a big-payday chess champion, ask yourself, Does chess require unique human creativity and/or distinctively human analytical skills?Better yet, go to www.sparkchess.com for the answer and get your butt kicked by advanced-level Boris (free) or the ultimate master Guru chess software (fee).If you are a concerned parent, worried about whether public or private education and, in particular, school curricula will prepare your child for what I have called the coming jobliteration, you could try raising the question at your next PTA meeting or at least while it is still chaired by humans.Alternatively, you may want to consider home schooling.Especially after the first home-schooling super-smart android tutors hit the market.

Getting a Grip on Garbage

Getting a Grip on Garbage Getting a Grip on Garbage Getting a Grip on GarbageResearchers have explored many questions when it comes to space travel Where will humans live? What kinds of foods will they eat? And more. But answering the question of how humans will dispose of all the garbage they create in space? Thats a question that hasnt been given very much thought, until now.Hao Jiang, a graduate student at Stanford University, is part of a team that has taken the research done at the school on the Eublepharis macularius, or the gecko,and looked at ways it can be applied to space refuse.Sticky SituationThere was the gecko adhesive work done at Stanford and a lab alumnus graduated and went to NASAs Jet Propulsion Laboratory, taking the technology with him, he says. When you want to grab something or recycle space junk, things are floating in space and there isnt any existing technology to handle it well. With gecko adhesives, maybe it could be different.The gecko, known for the stic kiness of its limbs, has long been a fascination for researchers, and Jiang and his team used the gecko as the model for their device.The gripper, inspired by the gecko, has a large array of modules to work with, he says. Upper level above it, is like a non-linear wrist that can take care of loading conditions. Eventually were looking to put in a robotic obere extremitt to interface with this gripper. For the gripper, if the astronaut is holding it, it has a handle affixed at the wrist and they attach the gripper to the target object, such as space junk, and it has a sensor to detect when it contacts with the object or aligns with the object, and it tightens at the wrist. When you grip, it feels stiff grasping and after that, you feel like the object is together with you so you can move the object around.Researchers combined gecko-inspired adhesives and a custom robotic gripper to create a device for grabbing space debris. Image Stanford UniversityThe object sticks to the target bec ause of the silicon material used on the devices adhesive pads, he says, but adds that what really matters is the microscopic structure of the silicon, similar to how the geckos hair structure is the key to its stickiness.You dont need to push with significant force for this, you just need a light touch, says Jiang. To make sure the load is as even as possible, they use a pulley system for the pads.To test how much force or movement the grippers can handle, the team went over to the Jet Propulsion Labs Robodrome, where two robots, each weighing 800 pounds, were floating on an air-hockey-like floor, simulating zero gravity. The gripper was attached to one robot and the team used it to drag the other robot around.The device was also tested extensively on zero-gravity airplane flights. We did 80 flights with about twenty to thirty seconds of zero-gravity time and then we tried to float the target object and grasp the object with the gripper, he says, Reaching even 2Gs, there was a lett ing go and grasping of objects, ones that were similar to a fuel tank, beach ball, and ice cube. The results so far show a good deal of potential.Eric Butterman is an independent writer. For Further DiscussionWhen you grip, it feels stiff grasping and after that, you feel like the object is together with you so you can move the object around.Hao Jiang, Stanford University

Here are 8 common business trip mistakes you should avoid

Here are 8 common business trip mistakes you should avoidHere are 8 common business trip mistakes you should avoidBelieve it or not but many employees think business trips are simply free holidays but there is always a purpose and its never to party.Just because you are away from the office and perhaps out of the watchful eye of the boss or manager doesnt mean you can let standards slide.All too often there is a lack of focus on the purpose of the trip itself, with many workers viewing it as a fun trip rather than a business opportunity. This is particularly true for younger teams although even for managers and experienced execs it can be an issue, although they really should know better.Its worth reminding staff that just because they are away from cousine they still represent the company and the same standards that are expected in the office still apply on the road.Researchers from workplace expertsLondonOffices.comhave investigated the most common mistakes made by employees travel ling on business and how best to avoid them.They found that many executives viewed business trips as a chance to let their hair down away from home and for many this led to a fall in professional standards.Issues identified ranged from failing to prepare properly for meetings and being unclear on the purposes of the trip to getting horribly drunk and turning up for meetings late and reeking of alcohol.1. Being underpreparedPreparation is pivotal to a successful business trip, so make aya to research, plan and write the itinerary in advance.Another suitable precaution is to print out any relevant documents beforehand, as Wi-Fi can be unreliable, and reconfirm plans before departure, to avoid wasted time and costly cancellations.2. Booking a poor bed and breakfastRead plenty of online reviews to pick out the best hotel for your needs, but consider contacting them directly for a better price, and check the location dont stay off the beaten track and then spend the mornings stuck in loc al commuter traffic.3. Making a poor first impressionAvoid getting off on the wrong foot, dress appropriately know the context to avoid smart-casual when formal is necessary or vice versa. Greet with a firm but friendly handshake and smile, to show crucial confidence and consideration.Crucially dont overdo it in the hotel bar the night before a big meeting as turning up late, hungover and stinking of lager is definitely not going to impress.4. Getting the meals wrongUse online reviews to take the host to a restaurant with an appropriate atmosphere and cuisine to start fruitful relationship, but avoid dining in an expensive Michelin starred restaurant or draining the hotel mini-bar and only order room service as a last resort.It is also advisable to have breakfast in the hotel for time efficiency dont skip this meal and be under-fuelled for the busy day ahead.5. Forgetting about receiptsBusiness trips shouldnt hit employees in the pocket, so retain all relevant receipts to forward to accounts if it is not company policy to fully reimburse expenses, they can still be used for personal tax deductions.6. Being unproductive.Never forget that the trip is for business not leisure stick to the itinerary or the daily agenda will be unachievable. Dont waste time on minor tasks that could be completed via e-mail or phone, when other face to face priorities are more pressing.It might be a great idea to take the client out for a meal or a drink but that doesnt mean its ok to get hammered. Remember to act professionally at all times.7. Staying in a comfort zoneDoing business in a fresh location is a perfect opportunity to network with potential new clients or colleagues and to seek out personal development opportunities.A top tip is to ensure you have a healthy amount of business cards in your jacket or bag.8. OverworkingSpending a night or several travelling for business should not mean that regular hours are extended neglecting sleep, food or water does not create a heal thy business brain.Of course the company agenda remains the priority, but perhaps consider looking into the local entertainment options in the evening.This article originally appeared on YourCoffeeBreak.co.uk.

Overview of the Army Fraternization Policy

Overview of the Army Fraternization PolicyOverview of the Army Fraternization PolicyThe Army- and all branches of the military- maintain specific rules about fraternizing. The policy has been updated in throughout the years to reflect and better define acceptable and unacceptable relationships. The goal is not to discourage soldiers from having any interpersonal relationships, or to prevent team-building among units, but to avoid unfair treatment and the appearance of unfair treatment between an officer or NCO and his subordinates. Part of the challenge of writing and understanding the Armys policy is that fraternizing is sometimes used to mean an inappropriate or prohibited relationship when all three are different. Relationships to Avoid in the Army Essentially the rules seek to prevent inappropriate relationships between higher-ranking personnel and their subordinates. Relationships of the same and opposite genders are prohibited if they fall into any of the following categori es Compromise, or appear to compromise, the integrity of supervisory authority or the chain of commandCause actual or perceived partiality or unfairnessInvolve, or appear to involve, the improper use of rank or position for personal gainAre, or are perceived to be, exploitative or coercive in natureCreate an actual or clearly predictable adverse impact on discipline, authority, morale or the ability of the command to accomplish its mission Such relationships dont have to be sexual in nature to be prohibited. For instance, if an officer is spending more time with one of his subordinates than others, the appearance of favoritism could certainly arise. And an officer who spends time with subordinates in social settings, or who calls subordinates by their first names, for example, may bring his authority or fairness into question. Other Prohibited Relationships in the Army Some relationships between certain categories of soldiers, such as non-commissioned officers and enlisted perso nnel, are also prohibited under the Armys fraternization policy. These can include ongoing geschftsleben relationships dating or shared living accommodations (other than those necessary to Army operations) and sexual relationships and gambling, where one soldier may end up owing another money. Such relationships were not specifically covered under the Army policy until recently but were considered unwritten rules. Business Among Troops And there are some situations where the above rules dont apply. For instance, the business relationships clause doesnt apply to a landlord-tenant relationship, and one-time transactions like the sale of a car from one soldier to another are allowed. But the borrowing or lending of money and ongoing business relationships are not allowed among soldiers and NCOs. Soldiers who are married prior to joining the military are exempted from the anti-fraternization policy as well. Also, any relationship between permanent party training personnel and soldie rs not required by the training mission is prohibited. Army recruiters are also prohibited from having personal relationships with potential recruits. Consequences of Violating Fraternization Policies Commanders who discover violations of fraternization policy must choose the appropriate punishment. It may include counseling, reprimand, an order to cease, reassignment for one or both of the soldiers involved, administrative action or adverse action. More serious consequences could includenonjudicial punishment, separation, barring reenlistment, denial of a promotion, demotion, and even a court-martial. The best course of action for any Army personnel whos unsure of the specifics of the fraternization policy is to ask. Ideally, a soldier would consult a superior officer or a member of the staff judge advocate legal assistance team before engaging in a relationship that might be against the rules.

Write a LinkedIn Recommendation for Your Boss - The Muse

Write a LinkedIn Recommendation for Your Boss - The MuseWrite a LinkedIn Recommendation for Your Boss Experts agree To be an effective networker, dont think about what other people can do for you. Instead, focus on how you can provide value to them. Youll build stronger relationships, which will make your connections genuinely eager to do you favors- which means, in the end, youll come out ahead.Heres the problem. If youre young, relatively inexperienced, in a new industry, or without many connections, you dont have a ton of obvious opportunities to help others out.Luckily, I recently hit on an awesome way to give people a boost thats perfect for any professional without much networking currency (or any professional, really.)Ive been writing LinkedIn recommendations- leid for the people who work for me, but for the people above me.The WhyUsually our superiors write us recommendations, not the other way around. But recommendations on LinkedIn are different than the ones you might send in with a job application. On LinkedIn, its completely acceptable to have someone lower in the ranks recommending a higher-up. Its actually very helpful for the person being recommended, because it creates a holistic view of his or her work ethic, leadership style, skills, and so forth.Writing a recommendation for your boss also gives you a chance to thank him or her. We dont usually get the opportunity to give spontaneous thank-yous to our higher-ups, and this is the perfect non-awkward way to show your appreciation.Lastly, it increases your visibility. Suppose someone in your industry is browsing your managers page. He reads your (well-written) recommendation and ends up clicking on your profile. Now youre on his radar, too.The WhoWhomever you directly report to is an obvious choice. However, you can also recommend your bosss boss, the head of your department, the head of a different department- even the CEO. As long as youve worked closely enough with this person to give an accu rate and detailed portrayal of his or her strengths, qualifications, and standards, youre qualified to give a recommendation. Suppose youre wondering whether you should recommend Adam, whos several rungs above you on the company ladder. If your interactions are limited to a couple emails, conversation at office parties, and mutual attendance of some meetings, youre probably not close enough. However, if youre worked under him for a project, received training from him, or helped him put together a report, hed be a great choice.The HowI want all my recommendations to be honest, thoughtful, and detailed, so before I ever sit down to draft one, Ill take a weeks worth of notes. Basically, instead of just thinking, Oh, that was nice, when my boss (or whomever Im recommending) does something that makes me grateful, Ill write it down. After seven days is up, Ill review my notes. (If its someone I work with less frequently, Ill extend this process to two weeks or even a month.) Heres a sampl e listMonday Offered to teach me how to use new software.Tuesday Thanked me for my hard work answered all my emails quickly.Wednesday Helped me set up a meeting so I could learn more about other departments.Thursday Was understanding when I was late to our check-in and even stayed later so she could finish explaining something.Friday Asked me if I still wanted to learn how to use new software.By doing this, some trends usually leap out. Based on this list, Id characterize my boss as supportive, invested in my success, and good at communicating. Plus, now I have both specific traits to highlight and examples to back up my claims. For example, I could writeDylan is clearly interested in helping me grow as an employee. When our company started using a new leads-tracking software, she asked me if Id like her to show me how to use it (on her own time) because she knew I wanted to learn more about the sales side of the company. She also offered to arrange a meeting with some of the key me mbers of the sales and absatzwirtschaft teams so I could get more insight into their structure and goals. Whenever I have questions or concerns, Dylan responds right away- and even follows up later in the week or month to make sure my issues have been resolved. Her patience and willingness to help have made me motivated to do the best job I can.This is also a great opportunity to subtly reinforce someones best traits. If you praise your managers excellent listening qualities, chances are, hes going to be super attentive next time you come in with a project idea. If you thank the CEO of the company for her commitment to transparency, those all-staff meetings arent going away any time soon. Just make sure youre being honest- you dont want to write anything that will make the person think, What? I dont do that.(For more tips, check out our five-minute guide to writing amazing recommendations- weve even included some sample lines.)The RestAfter Ive crafted a really solid paragraph or tw o, Im usually eager to put it up on LinkedIn. However, I always check with the recommendee first. Some people are pretty picky about what goes on their page, and you dont want your nice gesture to become a faux pas. Heres how I ask for the green lightDear Dylan,I really enjoy working with you, and I want to show my appreciation with a LinkedIn recommendation. My first draft is below. Is there anything I should take out or add? Im happy to make any changes youd like.Also, please dont feel obligated to accept this recommendation- Id understand if you were trying to limit what goes on your profile In any case, thank you for being such a great supervisor.Best,AjaIt may seem funny to request permission to give a recommendation, but doing so gives people the option of tailoring your recommendation to fit their personal brand- and an easy out if they dont want your recommendation at all. (Its never happened to me, but people always say they appreciate being asked.)Once youve gotten the go- ahead or some edits, youre ready to uploadIve used this technique to do something useful for people with much more power, responsibility, and visibility than me. Will you try it? Let me know on TwitterPhoto of OK sign courtesy of Shutterstock.
