I don't think the community always gets the younger generation because we are focused on the enterprises.<br /><br />Luis, like to hear that student session.

Regarding careers in computer science, I warned them: it's a lifelong learning experience, so if you don't like being in school, I.T. is not for you. Much more I mentioned there that I should blog about. Thanks for the topic idea!David (The Notes Guy in Seattle)http://blog.thenotesguyinseattle.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8994561579739999989.post-24318096059093215672011-05-18T02:15:52.173+03:002011-05-18T02:15:52.173+03:00Hi Keith!

I am surely glad you are picking up on this theme as well on the current state of our education and learning systems; I, too, value quite a bit engaging with younger students through various different presentations and workshops, as well as coaching them and giving them some advice on their PhD thesis and the like, as a very revealing method to mutually learn about both worlds: theirs and ours and see how we can help facilitate their conversion into the best of both. Not always an easy challenge, for sure, but worth while the discussion, for sure! :)<br /><br />Which reminds me I need to write a blog post on a recent event I did where the students were not connected to the Web, so we decided to use a whiteboard and jot down a bunch of notes of what they expect the future of the workplace to look like and what it is today. My goodness, what an eye opener! <br /><br />Thanks again for following up on this one! Much appreciated!Luis Suarezhttp://www.elsua.netnoreply@blogger.com
