What's the point in working hard? What's the point of waking up in the morning and go "work hard" on something, which in the end is not going to be of any potential use to us? Yes. What use is it to work hard to develop the next generation, high speed 4G networks or the ubercool "can do anything" cellphone that can dial numbers based on the intensity of your farts??? Fart screens? iFart? (hey apples, forgive me :-)) In the end its going to be mostly used by a drunk teenager sending pictures of a penis drawn on the forehead of her passed out boyfriend! Yeah I thought about that one, but the NASA and all have their own dedicated networks and channels for communication, which are developed by their own scientists. What you create is still for the drunk chick. Yup!
What use is it knowing how to work with an OS? It's not like you're going to buy a piece of hardware and start coding your own OS and use it, right? You're still going to drive to Bestbuy, you're still going to ask the underpaid technician for recommendations and opinions (who, by the way, is still in high school and theoretically is supposed to be knowing less than you, because umm you're already an engineer!), you're still going to select the laptop computer with the fattest RAM even though your IM, browser, itunes, picasa and notepad (yeah 90% of your computer usage comprises these five programs -- VLC usage being the other 10%) collectively don't require more than 64MB of RAM, you're still going to overpay for the "free servicing offer" to fix something that you're already supposed to know how to fix!
Anywho!!!, the bottom line is that working hard really doesn't matter as we're all a part of the devious corporate facade and its all about the greenery! You want to work hard and do something for the planet? Try leaving your current life as it is and go spend the rest of your life earning 35K per year and researching for 18 hours a day on what neurons in a fruit fly tell it how fast the wind is blowing (like those guys in Caltech). Or just keep observing the sun and rocks all day trying to predict what the exact angle of deflection of the earth's axis is and inturn predict the doomsday (like that guy in 2012 with the horrible Indian accent! :-)) No? Not your cup o'tea? Well, then, just be happy the way you are!
