"Chicks dig guys with skills."
I can't tell whether this is beautiful or baffling. The Asahi newspaper is encouraging young people to kick butt in the World Skills Competition and consider careers in manufacturing because it's "what the nation's economy stands on." When will robots demand entry to this contest I wonder.

It's poignant that it is occurring at the same time as the Disabled Olympics.
ReplyDeleteexactly. it's great to see these people being honored for their talents, but it's weird that the paper would be advocating these careers in today's economy. my colleague just returned from Japan where he was treated to a tour of an auto factory. the only time humans touched the car was when two of them suited up in white and gloves ran their hands smoothly over every weld checking for defects in a weird industrial ballet.
