Shortest path to value creation from computers and systems is dependent upon human input.
Faster ability to read, faster ability to match patterns, faster ability to type, and faster ability to make decisions all factor into usefulness of computer cycles available.
There will be a faster supercomputer 5 years from now. Will you be a faster reader and be able to input faster? Supercomputers to value creation are dependent upon human interaction.
Investment in a system today, might need maintenance in 3 years and quit on you in 4. Investment in greater reading comprehension, pattern matching, reduced miscommunication, and increased typing speed has potential for being value that has a longer than a 3 or 4 year lifespan.
Focus, Attention Span, Basic Math, Reason and Logic are all skills that also factor into value creation that can be improved as well.
A newer faster computer does not guarantee liquidity of value creation. Liquidity of value creation on a computer that will be bought 5 years from now depends on investment in training today.
Throughput and Liquidity of Resources matters, not always ideally invested in in advance.
Greater Observational Capacity, Active Listening, and More Clear Summaries that Reduce Miscommunication and are better at Amplifying Comprehension are all systems worthy of investing in as well.
Further rate of information continues to grow, more Memory capacity has potential for being a lot of value added over time.
Sustainable useful throughput matters. Ergonomics is Power.
