Houses being built by 3D it showed just how much things have changed in 20/30 years.

There will always be a need for manual Labor but even an auto mechanic has to be trained on computers. It is amazing to me just how changed the world of Engineering is, but you still need to know the basics.

The young seem to me to be stepping up.

But as long as we keep electing old men.,long past retirement age who still think it is 1950 nothing will change. Who would think we have a whole Political party that denies climate change and Science, think tax cuts will fix a deficit. Refuse to modernize a bloated health care system run by lobbyists? Refuse to pass an Infrastructure bill that would create hundreds of thousands of good paying jobs, High Speed Rail.

Until we clean house of those who only care about their perks, bullying and lying their way forward.
