Carol Bartz essay from 1997

Forbes has republish an old essay by Carol Bartz.

The thing that disappoints me the most about technology is that we've used it in the wrong ways. Technology may give you an extra 45 minutes, but we're not giving that back to our families. Instead, we're doing 45 more minutes in meetings. We're way, way, way information overloaded.

I was a real nerd. I love, love, love, love math… Then I took my first computer course. It was crazy. It was like math, only more fun. I switched to computer science.

I fully agree with the connection of math and computer science. Math was it that got me into programming and eventually AutoCAD, etc.
