Exaggerated? Emboldened? Less than little, perhaps. Humans are submitting to automation. And the luxury of it is irresistible. Everything spoon-fed. Beforehand. Self-driven cars, military’s automatic war defence mechanisms, auto-pilot on airplanes, intelligent digital assistants like Cortana, Google Now and Siri on handhelds, giant tree-movers, foldable bikes, suave automatic proximity and climate sensors in cars and homes.
Behind the scenes is a perfect coordination of man’s technical prowess and the machine’s precision of implementation, mostly automatic. Automation simplifies life. It decimates human effort that could well be otherwise spent in multiplying opportunities.
Everything that is automatic is mostly power-driven. Whether solar, hydro, electric, wind or mechanical,power.is.generated, or harnessed sometimes. By the able and the skilled in art, by techies we call Engineers.
As Telangana GENCO’s Chairman Mr. D. Prabhakar Rao rightly said “nothing moves without power, and power doesn’t move without engineers.” It is riveting and cogent in absolute sense that sustenance and perpetuation of life in the age of digital economy is fuelled by engineers who can not only harness the power, but can control and generate it.
Our progression with technology is clearly irreversible. The change from man-driven to machine-driven economy has already started. And engineers are at the helm of it.
