As I’m finishing my education and getting ready to search for jobs, I know there is so much for me to learn still. We all come out of our course thinking that we’re qualified, have got the knowledge, will run out and do great things.
I saw a video tour of New York City from 1911 on YouTube. They had traffic management with electric, petroleum, and horse powered vehicles intermingling. They had trains being driven several storeys over the street, buildings so high that an engineer these days would take seemingly forever to design and build. They had so much already back then. We think we’re doing something new – and we probably are – but we may be forgetting that these things have all been done without the technological help that we have today. Damn amazing.
