*one of our seasoned IT experts (JD MC) share how their journey started*
For me, I think back to my days as a young boy in an English classroom where my teacher at the time spoke to all those in his care just like an adult, which allowed me the benefit of breaking away from the thought of being a child albeit only for this class period. Since this English class was at the end of the school day, the teacher was naturally drained after dealing with their work day and after providing my class with schoolwork to complete. This class also gave us time to peruse the available books in the room, of course, only after completing said schoolwork. So I often worked diligently to obtain that free time to have access to those very much ancient reading materials.
One of which was an anthology named R Is For Rockets by American author Ray Bradbury. This book housed much of my interest for the school year, and I would read it every time I had a chance. It illustrated concepts of our future world and technology, which I only gave little thought about outside of computer class during my school years. The idea that technology could provide us with anything other than a frustratingly slow experience connecting to the web was new to me.
This imaginative book and author allowed my mind to see into the world of the future, whether that was time machines or acts of heroism carried out by a modern man to save a damsel in distress in an unknown world. I channeled this interest into building a knowledge base foreign to most around me in my simple beginnings. At the time in a very underdeveloped town in rural Oklahoma. Nonetheless, I sought out the understanding of what tech means in our modern world and began to allow myself to serve those in my community with ever-changing and challenging tasks in that same vein.
I could go on and on with little care about how it started, but I am reminded that this post will be read by people who may have similar stories to mine. This book, R Is For Rockets, was the catalyst that began my pursuit to understand and gain the required knowledge of tech that has contributed to countless enjoyments in my life. So if you ever think of throwing out an old book, remember that it can still hold the ability to inspire and capture minds of those around us consider donating or giving it away.
