No. Not everybody has to be a computer scientist. Not everybody has to be a software engineer. But if you want to be relevant today, if you want to have an impact on the world, you're going to have to master basic technology. Now, I graduated from college at a time when I had not even seen or touched a computer. But I have to use computers every single day. And I have to partner with people on artificial intelligence for businesses I work on. I have to use deep fake technology websites. You've got to learn about the metaverse, you've got to learn about NFTs, you've got to learn about blockchain if you want to be relevant today. So I don't care about your background. I had no background in technology. It's just a matter of deciding, can I still learn about what's new and important? Follow the TJ Walker habit.
