Kickoff Blog: Techno Humanist

Greetings blogophiles... Although this is my first public blog, I have more than a year's experience blogging weekly on a corporate website.  I like to write about how technology impacts the human condition and vice versa.

My background is in physics, engineering and the telecommunications industry... until very recently, I was continuously employed by telecommunications service providers and equipment makers in a variety of functions.  I have designed networks and equipment, I have supervised engineers and strategists and I have been involved in new technology investment and acquisition.  Although I know telecom networks and technology well, I like to comment on a wider range of technical subjects that impact people's lives: cars and airplanes, office equipment and food technology, agriculture and civil engineering.  I also like to comment on the human side of technology: engineering careers and personalities, managing innovation and the politics of change.

Lately, social networking has been in the news and although I am not a big user of most social networking sites, since I am currently looking for work, I spend a lot of time and energy on LinkedIn.  I expect to share my experience looking for a new technology or strategy executive position in this rather difficult market.

I would appreciate your comments on what you consider interesting and important subjects in the interface between technology and the human experience.  Please feel free to think broadly.

Mike Day
