World outside this tech bubble is so different.

I worked in conventional ELV systems related engineering before getting into tech. I feel like people outside high-tech life are so much behind in many aspects of life - the progress made by tech on the lives of high-tech people are yet to reach the ordinary person.

There are so many non-tech people out there we look down but in fact they are the probably 98% of humanity and their reality define how we as humanity evolve.

On the other hand I feel like non-tech people are underrated in their understanding of what what tech is doing, they just have a way more relaxed attitude towards it.

Like finding out your 55 year old Aunty has secretly been using LLMs to automate part of her job is real.

“High tech” people are like trekkies, they’re just more into it.
