Please inform me of what's going to replace technology? Only thing replacing tech is AI. Hopefully I'm not alive to see the day.

Oil & gas literally being taken out by tech lol .

If I knew, you'd think I'd be on NT?

I just know that the economy, and life in general, rolls in cycles.

I'm pretty sure people said the same thing about O&G, railroads, telecommunications, etc.

I'm not attacking the tech industry (sounds like you work in it), but I'm just saying that absolute statements like that are not based in anything but "well, I think it's gonna be around b/c it's the **** now"

I'm in the industry doesn't bother me in any way everyone is entitled to an opinion. My logic is coming from the simple fact that technology is everywhere and isn't going anywhere. Phones, computers, cars, internet, cyber, software, etc.

It's not based on this is what's hot now (it's been hot for a while), it's based on the fact that tech has had a hand in every single industry you named that people thought would be on top forever.

We will just have to see what happens.
 
I read an article a couple days ago saying there's a 30% chance or higher that an earthquake with a magnitude higher than 7.5 will hit the Bay Area in the next 30 years. Supposedly a joint fault line was found that stretches 115 miles from the Russian River area all the way down just past San Jose.

^^^^^Jesus.....I guess I don't even know my Bay Area stuff cause I had no idea what you are talking about with Nguyen Ngo or what not. Haha.

I do agree though that there are really a lot of diversity even in the hoods within the Bay Area. That in an odd way is why I love it so much out here. My high school had every nationality you can think of and even something like playing basketball unified races where you gained respect from one another. I actually think the city that saw very little of that was San Francisco just because the cultures out there were harshly divided from the Chinese areas, black areas, Latin, etc.

Y'all remember those Thizz Nation Block Report videos? :lol: :smokin

This kind of classism is so annoying, and it's this type of thinking that's at the heart of constructs like white flight.


People of less privileged economic status from ALL OVER the Bay Area have been priced out and pushed further east to cities like Antioch and Fairfield over the last 25 years.


Relative to population size, no greater share have come from Oakland or Richmond, than places like San Leandro or El Cerrito.


Let someone else tell it though and its the black and brown boogie men from Oakland and Richmond who've turned these formerly safe towns "dangerous" :lol:

Xennial Xennial no offense man but you need to check wherever you're getting your facts from.

There's no "beef" or gang war going on between South Berkeley and North Oakland. Never has been.

I'm vaguely familiar with the Nguyen story, his murder didn't spark a gang war here.

We also have to clear up geographical facts. Waterfront isn't South Berkeley, it's West Berkeley a completely different hood.

South Berkeley shares it's entire border with North Oakland. There is no gang war. There is no real beef. There have always been slight "tensions," long before Nguyen, mostly stemming from the Oakland Tech/Berkeley High community rivalry.

These are two communities that are nearly identical along the border. Hell they are identical. You have households with the one sibling go to school in Berkeley and one sibling going to school Oakland a couple blocks away from each other. Uncles in the same family urging their nephews to attend their high school alma matter and not the other Uncles. It's 99% civic pride and community rivalry, and 1% tension that occasionally manifest itself in youth violence by kids who need serious guidance. I've worked on cite at both high schools. These type of kids wish they could say they were instigating gang war.

There may have been retaliation for Nguyen's murder, but there is no gang war here and never has been. Labeling whatever the situation is/was a gang war is disrespectful to the numerous American urban centers that have been ravaged by real gang wars and real gang culture. We don't have that here.

And I wasnt trying to disrespect the Asian g card when I said "black and brown boogie men," I fully consider my Asian brothers brown as well. That wasn't the point though, like I said the point was classism. Suburbs pointing to specific urban groups to account for why their neighborhoods are dealing with issues of crime.

Yea but HP is very different than what it used to be. I'm not talking about Double Rock but look at 3rd St. and it has to start somewhere. Look at 16th and 24th St. I remember when you would never walk on those streets because of the B & Cs but look at it now.

The biggest change for me is the culture. SF used to be the place people came to cause you can be yourself. Everybody was accepted for the most part. It's not like that anymore. Now it's about status. It's become very NY in a way. Now it's about who you work for or what neighborhood you live in. It's very Abercrombie.
 
That looks inline to what type of event would go on in HP though. It that **** had fifth harmony then I would be smh

LOL

Man, Mission dist. and Daly City are the only places in SF I feel like I can still run up in and feel some culture. The rest is just :x . SF is still a beautiful place and don't get it twisted. I've ran into some long term folks from Marin and whatnot who still hold it down and show that bay hospitality. :smokin

Oakland slipping and I can't believe the Rich is slippin. Out of all places, the rich man :smh:

Also - tech is too vague a term. What kind of tech?
Click to expand...

Doesn't matter the kind of tech , it's all considered tech. Whether it's Software, Hardware, Networking, Big Data, Cyber Security, Cloud computing, Health IT, IT, Automation, Drones, etc it's all within the tech field.

Here's some interesting facts about Cyber Security too . I don't think people realize how understaffed tech in general really is outside of Teir 1 Help Desk lol word to Top Boy Top Boy

^ That's interesting. Why do you think its that way?

Because in demand tech fields and cyber threats will always grow faster than the amount of people who are qualified for the job. This is due to many people not liking or not being good at Math and Science. A lot of people make it seem like it's impossible to get into these fields I think it steers people away.

Yeah, I steered me away for a bit. Not too particularly good at math and my school required a lot of it for one of those stem majors. 

But I've somewhat gotten back into it now
