I work in retail.

I guarantee this is 100% necessary and also 100% ineffective.

I grew up watching PBS; Sesame Street, Mr Rogers, The Electric Company, 321 Contact, that weird math show with the math cops... all the classroom ASSET programming, and so on.

I lived in the back-country so I assumed that everyone was into learning and being smart and understanding how everything works. I thought "Wow the future will be grand if so many people my age grew up watching the same things and wanting to learn and read and think!"

Holy shit, the last several decades have been a massive disappointment. Like, crippling depression disappointment.

Yeah, I feel you. I'm in the same boat.

Hey, you remember that PBS math show—can't remember the name—where a group of kids go into cyberspace and have to do math shit to defeat this villain dude? Best fucking shit ever. Lol.

 


Edit: Figured it out! It's Cyberchase! Like I said: best. shit. ever.

I don't think Square One was what the user above was referencing, but it's certainly what I was thinking of! I loved that show, I grew up in isolation basically so I had no idea it was considered weird to love math and had an affinity for math, but Square One and other PBS shows were the closest thing I had to any kind of formal education.

I was thinking of Cyberchase. Haha.

I was home taught in the UK. Have a real love for learning that's kick-started me into a career in computing that I've kept going for over two decades. Can't stop, won't stop reading, learning and improving. The number of colleagues I've had who just want a TL;DR on a new tech, software, plugin or system is too many. It's our job to understand it, so we can build something so that others don't have to. If you don't want to understand, you're in the wrong job role.
