  • Our destiny as a techy guy.

    I read PCWorld Vietnam this morning, one of a few IT - magazines in this country that seems somewhat serious about its content and don't rush for the script kiddie stuff. This month's issue features two article about three tragedy losses of the IT world this year. Steve Jobs' works were highlighted in an 8 pages long article with lots of pictures while John McCarthy and Dennis Ritchie was put together in an 2 pages only article with two faces (of them) in it, We must admit that two pages was much nicer than what other magazines would give them but that was it, only two pages.

    I put an status on facebook and an - so called - iFan said that I would not understand because I haven't used iProduct. Then it stroke me, what we, future engineers and scientists of this country, were destined to? A little time for side note: If you come to this university and dream of neither engineering nor science, if you just want to become another Bill Gate or Steve then you can stop reading and piss off, those guys didn't need techy stuffs to be successful, just piss off and start you BUSINESS, you future businessman

    We who committed to this techy path is following the footstep of McCarthy and Ritchie, let's be known that perhaps not even a single one of us will ever be able to accomplish as great a job as what they did. But even if we will, we was still destined to be poorer than Bill and Steve, to be inferior as a public figures, to be less missed when we pass away. Be sad as much as you want, but that was what destiny await us and we can't change that. For Steve to be able to bring iPhone to the world, many engineers spent many sleepless nights working hard. I doubt any iFan could remember the name of any of those engineers.

    The destiny is settled, but what we can change is our attitude. Let us all aware that we are the one who made the whole things possible. Unix set the standard for modern operating system and almost every operating system was written in C or its variants. Without McCarthy and Ritchie there will be no Windows, no MacOS, no iOS, no linux, no android, no anything. They are great man and they will be missed, at least among the rank of engineer and scientist they will be missed.

    There are great heroes, but the greatest hero is the one who doesn't have our recognition.

    PS: This post was English, as allowed by the rule. The content was spell checked but your are welcome to find any error and obscure statements, I will try to correct them as much as I could. The reason this post was in English is for trolling prevention, if you don't understand it then keep out! I'm in an emotional state and trolling comment will meet severe consequences.

    Just as a though came up in my mind a a few minutes ago "if you choose the easy way, making a stupid product that's unable to match people's demand, you'd better stop it right at the beginning".

      But even if we will, we wERE (actually it should be "ARE", just like the sentence above - if you don't believe in fate ) still destined to be poorer than Bill and Steve, to be inferior as public figureS, to be less missed when we pass away.

      many engineers spent many sleepless nightS working hard. I doubt that any iFan could remember the name of any of those engineers.

          I don't get you. What do you mean, your thought doesn't seem relevant to my post.

                  That is the difference between ENTREPRENEUR and SCIENTIST. They have their own value. The significant things are : "what will we want to be and what we need to do to reach our purposes". It's my presonal thinks.

                    of course i'll remember Steve Jobs, not Richie. But i'm not an iFan.
                    Why should an engineer be remembered if his influence is nothing to compare to a businessman?

                      Many businessman (I used that word instead "Entrepreneur") are not famous while many scientists are very famous. I can call some name like:"Albert Einstein" or "Newton" or "Pascal" and "Mendeleev",.....or "Chau B. Ngo" (Ngô Bảo Châu) is another one familiar with us. The problem is how lucky for us to be known after we have done something big. Personally I think the number of scientists to be known and be famous is more than businessman so stay with sciences.

                          he didn't know how to use the word "influence" and in Vietnamese, that mean "cảm hứng".

                          In the book of crowd psychology, it wrote that "The man who is lying to a crowd will be their master while the man who brings the knowledge to the crowd, will be their slave.

                            A scientist can do nothing without the aid of entrepreneurs ! From the beginning of history, entrepreneurs and money are the driving force of the society, including science.
                            To me, science is just a tool, more or less.
                            Science is important, but it is NOTHING if it can't be applied to production.

                              Even this is something remarkable, its quite far for me. Me choose the way to gain knowledge, to live and share the duties with others

                              Its certainly a tool, but for someone it is the goal of their whole life
