Great article Ryan! So much processing power on so many desks and yet 99.9% of us use only 0.01% of it, mostly for email and creating rough visual displays (that and running constant system updates). Sometimes, all these computers even provide the opposite of automation--it takes more effort to create a presentation graphic with clip art…
Great article Ryan! So much processing power on so many desks and yet 99.9% of us use only 0.01% of it, mostly for email and creating rough visual displays (that and running constant system updates). Sometimes, all these computers even provide the opposite of automation--it takes more effort to create a presentation graphic with clip art and a mouse than it would with just a Sharpie and an overhead projector slide. Something, somewhere, did not go the way it was supposed to.
Every now and then I hear about an initiative to share useful tools/apps that folks have built (schedulers, assignment optimizers, TEEP builders, slide compilers, form fillers, etc.), but nothing seems to take off. Perhaps now that more folks can get into a little bit of coding with AI assistance, we'll see more automation tools being built and shared!
